The Internet of Things
Opportunities for senior design projects2014-2015 academic year
What is the IoT?Pretty soon, EveryThing will have an IP address.
Household appliancesThermostats (e.g., Nest)Wearable computingVehiclesFarm crops and animals
30B devices by 2020
Need for IPv6
Low-cost platforms
Example Applications Wireless sensing
Environmental monitoring. Infrastructure monitoring (smart bridges).
Logistics Instant inventory control.
Amazon on wheels Fleet monitoring
taxi, bus, trucks, rental cars.
Energy management Scheduling of appliances
smart grid
Servitization models Example: As an alternative to selling jet engines, Rolls offers
“power by the hour” providing a fully serviced solution.
Project ComponentsThings
Internet-connected devicesLow-costWirelessPlatforms for sensors
Software frameworkEnvironment for developing IoT applications.Back-end processing for running the application.
User interfaceHosted on a PC or mobile device.
ThingWorxThingWorx is an enablement
platform that lets you build an IoT application.
It will be made available in a hosted environment.
Programmed via Java snippets.
Search people, systems, and machines to find what you want, when you need it.
Video tutorials available.
IoT-Enabled AppsThingWorx can be used to create the user
interface.
Support for mobile devices
Raspberry Pi IoT requires low-cost
computing platforms.
The group should use the Raspberry Pi as the platform for its sensors.
Supported sensors: Temperature Humidity Motion Accelerometer Light EKG
Can bind the data to ThingWorx
Thingz to Think About ... Concept: What is the goal of the app? Who is
the user? The customer? How will they use it? What is its Business Model and value proposition? Are there partners needed?
Inputs: What Data Is Collected? What is the Source of this Data? What kinds of sensors are needed?
Outputs: What Alerts are Triggered? What are the Responses to the Alerts? What kind of data analytics is needed. How to interface with the user to make the data actionable.

Information Session by corporate sponsor:Friday, Sept. 5 @ 11 AM in G102
About the group composition:Only one team can be sponsored this semester
Interdisciplinary team of 4 is preferred
Apply as an individual, not as a team
(though you can indicate teaming preferences)
