The Internet of Things Many Customers & Applications

The Internet of Things New Markets – New Applications

Vertical Market Example Use Case 1 Use Case: Preventative Medical / Sports Medicine

Application:

For a sports medicine application, the customer required a gateway and

cloud solution to capture and transmit data related to helmet hits (head

contact in high-impact sports like hockey and football).

System monitors impact thresholds with predefined settings to alert

authorized individuals via a text message (SMS) or email. Historical data is

kept for later analysis.

Key Success Factors:

Short time to market due to EDC approach

Eurotech software knowledge and experience

Vertical Market Example Use Case 2 Use Case: Conference People Flow Monitoring & Mgmt

Application:

In order to monitor, analyze, visualize and manage people flows in one of

the largest It conferences in the world (Oracle JavaONE / OpenWorld

2013) Hitachi Consulting together with Oracle and Eurotech deployed a

people counting solution in several locations in downtown San Francisco,

including the Moscone Center where the sessions (keynotes) with the

highest number of attendees took place.

Key Success Factors:

PCN features & technology (e.g. stereoscopic vision)

Complete set of M2M building blocks offered

Java centric development of device application

Effective integration into Oracle DB and Tools

Complete end-to-end solution with Hitachi & Oracle

Vertical Market Example Use Case 3 Use Case: Environmental Monitoring

Application:

Several cities were looking for a solution that would allow them to do

effective constant environmental monitoring as part of their civil protection

and environmental protection plans and services. The main data monitored

in real time: temperature, humidity, CO, CO2, NO2, NO, O3, SO2, H2S,

VOC, electromagnetic emissions and nuclear radiation (α, β, γ).

Data is transferred via different transports (including 3G, WiFi) using

Internet connections in real time to control centers and different

applications. Alarms and measurements can be made accessible to the

population through Web and mobile applications.

Key Factors:

Short time to market due to EDC approach

Pollution Sensors:

• Gaseous pollutants (CO, CO2, NO, NO2, O3, SO2, H2S, VOC)

• Particulates (PM2 - PM10)

• EM fields

• Radioactivity (a, b, g)

• Sound pollution option

Data access & connectivity:

• Real time data with 24/7 availability

• Mobile app and Web interface

• GPRS/3G/WiFi connectivity

Simple user interface – Web interface and mobile app

Compact and lightweight – Ideal for fixed (e.g. light poles) and

mobile installations (e.g. construction sites)
