Nowadays, to properly design and develop advanced materials capable to preserve for long times their performance under aggressive environments such as power generation plants, renewables, nuclear reactors and electronics of new generation, transport on ground and on space, aeronautics, catalysis, biomedical implants, the optimization of metallurgical processes involved is crucial.

AIS aim is a robotized inclinometer measurement in standard inclinometer boreholes. The deep measurements have multiple applications, including: evaluating the rate of deep-seated ground deformation in landslide areas, evaluating the volume of deep-seated landslides and assessing landslide hazards. The AIS is composed by an electronic control manager, an inclinometer probe and an electric motor equipped with a high precision encoder for handling and continuous control of the probe in the borehole.

An interoperable and modular Digital Geospatial Ecosystem (DGE) is proposed, designed, implemented and tested in order to: collect in real time, manage and share geographic data; make usable tools and functionalities to support actions to prevent, monitor and mitigate impacts from extreme events as well as to prepare for and respond to emergency situations. The DGE is composed of the following modules:
