WES SensorHub - Access to IoT sensors - WES
WES SensorHub
An OGC-compliant data acquisition system that provides rapid integration of information from diverse sources, such as cameras and IoT sensors and devices. It is of particular value for first responders tasking sensors, creating alerts and creating task chains.
See and Command Data.
Automate the Response.
Real-time and historical data can be viewed directly from the interface in easy-to-understand widgets and charts (e.g., temperature gauge, speedometer, etc.). The SensorHub software also allows the user to task sensors (e.g., point the camera in a certain direction), create alerts (e.g., if heart rate drops below a certain threshold, notify me) and create task chains (e.g., if a motion sensor detects motion, point the camera in a specific direction).
Because of the flexible and open architecture provided by this solution, users can take advantage of the capabilities using existing infrastructures and environments. The system can also be used as a data source for existing situational awareness tools and external web applications that would greatly benefit from generating situational awareness.
Unified Sensor Control.
Mission-Ready Response.
This novel approach has SensorHub being a combination of software and hardware, providing first responder organizations and personnel with access to proprietary sensors that would otherwise be difficult to access. This solution is ideally suited in the first responder context because it provides a complete method for commanding and controlling the complex sensor infrastructure currently used by the military while enabling the system to easily adopt technologies and techniques used in the ever expanding commercial and open-source loT today, and in the future.
Connect, Monitor
Anticipate, Protect
A Smart Base using this solution would be able to monitor all sensors, collect sensor data for historical purposes, task sensors and define and configure sensor alerts for action. The Smart Base would have sensor hubs configured logically and physically according to the operational environmental needs and requirements. (e.g., biometric, environmental and observational, including video. The Smart Base administrative personnel can easily install a SensorHub network using existing communications networks, and these network communications can be extended using protocols such as Z-Wave and Zig Bee.
From Sensor Data to Situational Awareness.
Our solution provides a dashboard, data analysis capability and open interfaces that provide users with the ability to connect other data analysis tools. Because this loT system generates geospatially enabled sensor data, the data captured can be easily incorporated into situational awareness tools for the purpose of using sensor information (moving and in situ) in support of the Common Operational Pictures.
The following screen capture provides an overview of the administrative interface for SensorHub.
Every Sensor
Every Status - One View.
A comprehensive interface that provides a list of sensors and an up-to-date status for each that is connected to any one particular SensorHub. For each sensor/sensor platform contained in the list, a dashboard view is provided, showing the real-time parameters for each sensor item/attribute in the sensor platform.
For each of these sensors, an in-depth view may be requested that illustrates history and other vital information.
Customizable,
Sensor Dashboards
Dashboards are preconfigured for each sensor connected to the infrastructure. In addition, organizations are provided with the ability to customize and create dashboards that combine sensors from different platforms and environments to provide a consolidated view in support of a particular incident, mission, event or ongoing situational monitoring.
An intuitive wizard-like interface is provided to allow users to mix and match sensors into an easily understandable dashboard presentation.
Sensor Alerting
Sensor Tasking
Tasking/Alerting - Provides the ability to task sensors (e.g., point the camera in a certain direction), create alerts (e.g., if heart rate drops below a certain threshold notify me) and create task chains (e.g., if a motion sensor detects motion, point the camera in a specific direction).
Again, all of the rules-based generation may be generated using intuitive interfaces and can be performed remotely.
WES SensorHub,
Raspberry Pi Deployment
SensorHub can be deployed on a Raspberry Pi as a networking hub. Raspberry Pi is a very capable, low cost, small footprint computer ideally suited as a platform for collecting Internet of Things (IoT) and related sensor data. It contains a set of General-Purpose Input Output (GPIO) pins for connecting to, and controlling external electronic devices and creating IoT solutions. Bluetooth and other wireless devices can also be connected for full integration. All hubs are connected to the wider network and provide automatic data transmission.
