CT is proud to announce its Emerald sponsorship for the INCOSE International Workshop 2025, a premier event in systems engineering, taking place in Seville, Spain, from February 1-4, 2025. This key event will explore cutting-edge topics in systems engineering, including Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) with a focus on the SysML v2 transition, digital twins, and the role of systems engineering in energy transition.

As a leading engineering company providing end-to-end support, CT brings a wealth of experience to the table across a wide range of sectors. The company has been at the forefront of projects in digital twins, systems engineering, and energy transition, and has deep expertise in these areas. In particular, CT has implemented digital twin solutions in industries such as energy, manufacturing, defense, naval, and aerospace. Their successful projects, including optimizing the performance of hydroelectric plants, enhancing production processes through virtual simulations, and participating in numerous European R&D initiatives (such as Digital HBE Twin, EcoMobility, and Welder), showcase their leadership and innovative approach.

One of the highlights of CT’s involvement at the INCOSE International Workshop will be its strong emphasis on Model-Based Engineering (MBE). As part of its commitment with INCOSE, CT will present its demonstrated capabilities in MBSE, illustrating its extensive experience and the advantages it brings to systems engineering processes. The company has established a Model-Based Engineering (MBE) Center of Excellence, in order to consolidate its leadership in critical sectors like aerospace, naval, and defense, while also developing its own methodology to support the supply chain. Additionally, the company has been participating for several years in R&D projects under European calls that develop and use MBE methodologies.

“Our MBE methodology is designed to manage complex systems with both functional and non-functional constraints,” explains Fernando Mas, PhD and CTO – VP of Technology. “It promotes a collaborative process from concept to deployment, ensuring that all stakeholders share a unified language and model. This approach facilitates the formalization, simulation, and validation of behaviors and constraints, optimizing decisions from early stages and exploring solutions to identify the best alternatives.”

Thanks to the collaboration between CT Engineering and CT Solutions, two entities of the CT Group, the company delivers specialized expertise in the development and implementation of MBE methodologies, processes, and tools. This partnership supports Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), defense projects, and supply chains in managing complex systems of systems, ensuring robust solutions for a range of critical industries.

CT’s participation as an Emerald Sponsor of the INCOSE International Workshop 2025 highlights the company’s commitment to advancing the field of systems engineering, especially through its leadership in Model-Based Engineering. With a proven track record in digital twins, energy transition, and MBE, CT is set to play a key role in shaping the future of these transformative technologies.

CT announces the successful completion of the ALARAD project, an international initiative aimed at developing a smart farming platform for traceable, high-quality agricultural production. This project has facilitated the implementation of a decision-making support system based on proximal and remote sensing, driving the digital transformation of the agricultural sector and laying the groundwork for more productive, sustainable, and high-quality precision agriculture.

In Spain, the project concluded with the installation of a comprehensive monitoring and decision-making system in the vineyards of Bodegas Bohórquez, located in the Ribera del Duero Designation of Origin in Valladolid province.

Technological innovation at the service of agriculture

ALARAD integrates IoT technologies, artificial intelligence, and precision farming techniques to optimise vineyard management and maximise harvest yield and quality. In the vineyards of Bodegas Bohórquez, three sensor networks have been installed in different locations, providing real-time data accessible via a web application. This system monitors key variables such as the physiological state, vigour, and growth of the crop.

Additionally, CT’s team has developed advanced artificial intelligence models capable of predicting production-related variables such as yield per hectare, fruit pH, and other quality indicators critical for the Ribera del Duero Designation of Origin.

International collaboration with a local impact

The project is the result of international collaboration between South Korea’s Korea Electronics Technology Institute (KETI) and Spanish partners led by CT, within the framework of the Spain-Korea bilateral call. This joint effort enabled the development of two use cases: one in vertical farms in Korea and another in the vineyards of Bodegas Bohórquez in Spain.

On its side, CT led the design of the sensor architecture and data analysis, while its partner, Air Institute, contributed generalisable hardware and software solutions tailored for small-scale producers with limited broadband access.

The project also promotes sustainable vineyard management practices, focusing on traceability and reducing environmental impact, aligning with global agricultural sustainability goals.

Looking ahead: applications and potential

Not only has ALARAD demonstrated its effectiveness in vineyards, but its technology can also be applied to a wide variety of crops. The system gathers extensive data volumes, paving the way for future predictive models and customised optimisations for agricultural operations.

This innovative solution not only boosts crop productivity and quality but also supports data-driven decision-making, mitigates risks, and minimises environmental impact, heralding a new era in precision agriculture.

About ALARAD

The ALARAD Project is an R&D initiative under the bilateral call for the 2021 KRESIP Spain-Korea international programme in Artificial Intelligence, partially funded by the CDTI under reference IDI-20210939.

Last month, PADA1 consortium hosted two Preliminary Design Reviews (PDR), one for the micro launcher Orbital Baguette One, the other for the suborbital launcher Baguette One, and their respective launch systems. These milestones represent critical steps for the PADA1 project: it is the achievement of months of work for HyPrSpace, together with Telespazio France, CT Engineering Group and SpaceDreamS as a major supplier.

The Agile Space Access Development Project #1 – PADA1, is a consortium led by HyPrSpace as the pilot, in collaboration with CT Engineering Group and Telespazio France. This project aims to complete the detailed design of its OB-1 rocket and to carry out the first flight of Baguette One, its suborbital demonstration rocket showcasing the innovative hybrid propulsion technology developed by HyPrSpace.

The validation by the review members is a great success and allows PADA1 consortium to enter in the Critical Design Phase, which will lead to the Critical Design Review for Baguette One, and later Orbital Baguette One.
