Cloud4Business combines software development with a growing commitment to research and innovation. We take an active part in European and national R&I programmes, bringing our expertise in cloud architectures, data integration, AI and cybersecurity to bear on complex, multidisciplinary challenges.
Cloud4Business combines software development with a growing commitment to research and innovation. We take an active part in European and national R&I programmes, bringing our expertise in cloud architectures, data integration, AI and cybersecurity to bear on complex, multidisciplinary challenges.
C4B's research and innovation strategy focuses on four main axes:
Development of predictive models, real-time analytics and decision dashboards for monitoring complex processes. Application of anomaly detection, feature engineering and on-premise AI techniques for contexts with limited connectivity and low-latency requirements (<200 ms for safety-critical operations).
API-first approach with microservice architectures for integrating heterogeneous data sources: IoT telemetry, BIM models (IFC/IDS), LiDAR/RGB-D scanners, environmental sensors. High-frequency ingestion pipelines (≥10 Hz) using MQTT, REST, WebSocket and OPC-UA protocols. OpenAPI 3.0 compliance with conformance testing and semantic versioning.
Contribution to the development of Digital Twin infrastructures for the construction sector: data ingestion from robots (ROS-2 telemetry), feature engineering, analytics on progress, quality, safety and environmental impacts. Dashboards with data-to-decision latency <5 minutes.
ISMS approach (ISO 27001) applied to R&I: secure data management in multi-partner contexts, enforcement of RBAC/ABAC policies, audit trail, encryption in transit and at rest, GDPR-compliant backup/retention. Security expertise for hybrid cloud and edge architectures.
