Abstract

The enabling of data produced by product embedded sensor devices for use in product development could greatly benefit manufactures, while opening up new business opportunities. Currently products such as cars already have embedded sensor devices, but the data is usually not available for analysis in real-time. We propose that a world-wide, inter-organizational network for product data gathering should be created. The network should be based on open standards so that it can be widely adopted. It is important that a common, interoperable solution is accepted by all companies, big or small, to enable innovative new services to be developed. In this paper, the concept of the Internet of Things (IoT) is described. The PROMISE project is presented, and a distributed messaging system for product data gathering developed within the project is introduced. Practical experiences related to the implementation of the messaging system in a real application scenario are discussed.
