KINETIKA

Cultural heritage objects are essential to understanding history, identity, and traditions across time. However, their preservation and study can be challenging, especially when they include complex structures, internal features, or moving mechanical parts.

The EU-funded KINETIKA project addresses this challenge by developing an advanced 4D digital twin framework for cultural heritage objects with dynamic or mechanical components, including masonry structures and movable industrial heritage assets.

In KINETIKA, indigo plays a leading technical role by supporting the conceptualisation and system architecture of the platform. This includes defining the reference architecture, core system components, and key requirements related to performance, scalability, interoperability, and security.

The project combines laser scanning, muography, photogrammetry, advanced imaging technologies, and IoT-based sensor networks to capture both visible and internal aspects of heritage objects. This integrated approach enables continuous monitoring, improved understanding, and more effective preservation of cultural heritage assets over time.
