An Open Platform to bring out the value of your IoT data!
What is SensiNact?
SensiNact middleware is a unified framework to integrate and manage your IoT devices, collect their data and enable application development.
SensiNact allows you to:
Support state-of-the-art IoT protocols (ZigBee, CoAP, EnOcean, LoRa, SIGFOX, MQTT, XMPP, etc.)
Access on-demand, periodically or event-based realtime data for online analysis
Access historical data for offline analysis
Use any protocol to remotely access unified data and action sources (HTTP REST APIs, WebSockets, MQTT, XMPP, etc.)
Rapidly create new bridges to emerging protocols and dynamically integrate them to the running platform
With SensiNact Studio, create your automation applications exploiting the data and action sources,deploy them to the platform and manage their lifecycle
Applications:
SensiNact is part of the European open platforms initiative (open-platforms.eu), and has already been deployed in several collaborative projects, in particular for smart-city, smart-building and smart-healthcare domains:
ClouT: SensiNact enables access to more than 500,000 physical and virtual devices across European and Japanese cities (Santander, Genova, Fujisawa and Mitaka)
FESTIVAL: SensiNact federates smart-home, smart-station and smartshopping testbeds
BUTLER: SENSINACT hosts applications from smart parking, fall detector, medical reminders for elderly, and smart office
OrganiCity: open calls to test SENSINACT to access data from 3 pilot cities: Santander, Aarhus, London
SensiNact middleware : a use-case around smart ski-station
What’s new?
SensiNact adopts a standard service oriented approach to provide loose coupling between the physical and the virtual worlds, which brings the necessary flexibility to deal with the dynamic and heterogeneous real world. SensiNact is:
Plug & play: a device is seen as a service provider exposing its functionalities (e.g. sensing and actuating services). An application becomes a composition of services, with the flexibility of adding/removing/ updating them with a minimum impact on the running platform.
Dependable: SSensiNact’s formal data and service models facilitate reliable IoT applications development.
Scalable: its three-layers architecture (device/gateway/cloud) allows distribution of data processing at different levels.
Easy & quick: SensiNact comprehensive data model and APIs help to rapidly build IoT applications.
What’s next?
SensiNact will soon be released as open source to avoid vendor lock-in solutions. Extend it or include your add-on and benefit from already existing SensiNact features. Discover SensiNact in the following upcoming projects:
Smart tourism: in BigClouT SensiNact monitors the impact of business tourism on the local economy
Smart ski resort: in WISE IoT SensiNact improves skiers' quality of experience
Smart farming: in IoF2020 (starts in 2017) SensiNact manages vineyards
Smart living and well-being: in ActivAge (starts in 2017) SensiNact enables more autonomy at home for the elderly
