GREATER provides a secure, multi-tenant cloud environment that connects networked Living Labs (INES, UR, RP, UTAB). The ecosystem brings identity, dashboards, data, MQTT messaging and containerised services into one governed platform.
From device telemetry to role-based dashboards, GREATER standardises how Living Lab services are deployed, accessed and managed— so you can scale safely across sites.
Each Living Lab can publish new IoT services (flows, dashboards, APIs) without affecting other labs.
Consistent permissions across portal, dashboards, and API endpoints for controlled visibility and actions.
Reproducible environments using Docker (easy backups, upgrades, lab isolation, and predictable operations).
GREATER enforces access rules across the entire stack. Users authenticate once, then permissions determine which Living Labs, dashboards, and controls they can access. This is essential when many institutions share one cloud platform.
One identity model controls web pages, dashboards and data access—so permissions remain consistent across services.
Each lab runs isolated dashboard services while still sharing the same governance layer and user management.
Each Living Lab has its own dashboard instance for visualising sensors, energy status, and service controls. GREATER makes dashboards consistent and manageable while preserving lab-specific configuration.
GREATER uses messaging to connect devices (telemetry and control) to cloud services. MQTT enables lightweight communication suitable for remote and low-bandwidth environments.
MQTT acts as the “circulatory system” between field devices and the cloud ecosystem.
Containerisation improves repeatability, reduces downtime, and keeps Living Labs isolated on the same server.
GREATER is designed to be deployed and operated as a modern cloud system. Containers isolate services, networks isolate labs, and consistent configuration reduces errors across deployments.
