ESG / Sustainability Report / 2022 ESG / Sustainability Report / 2022 ANITA: TECHNOLOGIES FOR MONITORING ILLEGAL TRAFFICKINGMULTIRISK FUNCTIONAL CENTER (MFC) 2.0 (16) (13) New technologies can provide significant support to investigations into illegal trafficking. An integrated system for supporting decisions to control and monitor ongoing regional The aim of the European ANITA project coordinated by Engineering is to create and implement environmental phenomena. automated tools for monitoring the trafficking of drugs, counterfeit medicines, new psychoactive The Calabria Regional Environmental Protection Agency (ARPA) works for environmental protection, substances (NPS) and weapons linked to terrorism.control and recovery. Within the Agency, the Functional Center is responsible for systematically The project calls for the development of a platform to support investigations into illegal activities, surveying numbers relating to the earth’s climate. It also validates the data surveyed in strict compliance which is able to identify and analyze different online data sources (text, audio, video, image) to provide with national and international standards and publishes them on the web. pertinent resources to investigators.To support the Calabria ARPA in its institutional activities, we developed the CFM 2.0 software platform, Digital Sustainability These results are achieved through a combination of innovative technologies, which make it possible to which integrates a series of components based on the most recent technologies in Advanced Analytics carry out a number of activities:and the Internet of Things, which work alongside specialized activities and services surveying and • analysis of cryptocurrency networks and financial transactionsanalyzing environmental data. • the combination and automated processing of data and informationCFM 2.0 makes it possible to control environmental phenomena trends in real time and prevent the • user friendly data intelligence software, allowing users to identify spatial, temporal and causal resulting risks to humans. correlations between events, entities and illegal traffic activitiesThe CFM 2.0 ecosystem consists of five software modules: - Acquisition, to acquire data from external sources, such as the network of sensors distributed Results: Automatic analysis of large quantities of different types of content - Support for decision-throughout the region Digital Sustainabilitymaking processes - User friendly platform.- Management, to consult (also graphically) the data acquired, validate them and decide which can be made public - Disclosure, to provide input to the “Calabria weather alert” portal which collects all useful information on: alerts and bulletins, real-time updates on the evolution of events, weather forecasts, civil protection plans, risk maps and post-event reports - Analysis, for the analysis of environmental data with standard models - GIS, or a GIS web system for consultation, and a map server for publication. Results: Better data collection and display - Precise data analysis - Real-time updates in alerts and bulletins. 88 Engineering © Engineering © 89
