Smart cities are an obvious application of IoT as a horizontal enabler, covering

sustainable smart grids, smart mobility , smart health.

Advances in integration and miniaturization of ultra-low power components and micro systems and increased autonomy and flexibility of service robots is accelerating the diffusion of embedded ICT in all types of physical objects and artefacts ranging from clothes and even bodies to homes, cars and transport systems, as well as all public spaces and cities.

Internet of Things (IoT) is a technology, and a market development, based on the inter-connection of everyday objects among themselves and applications. IoT will enable an ecosystem of smart applications and services, which will improve and simplify EU citizens' lives.

Whereas in the first run Internet of Things referred to the advent of barcodes and Radio-frequency identification (FID), helping to automate inventory, tracking and basic identification, the second current wave of IoT sees a strong verve for connecting sensors, objects, devices, data and applications. The next wave could be called a “cognitive IoT”, facilitating object and data reuse across application domains, leveraging on hyper-connectivity, interoperability solutions and semantic enriched information distribution, incorporating intelligence at different levels, in the objects, devices, network(s), systems and in the applications for evidence-based decision making and priority setting.Economically , it could generate billions of Euros that easily translate into growth and employment, provided it ensures trust and security for the European citizens and businesses. At the same time, the IoT will bring hyper-connectivity to a global society, using augmented and rich interfaces. This global society will also be characterised by higher semi-autonomous system behaviour than today.

A consortium of EU researchers, software developers and standardisation

bodies is creating a new business ecosystem to unleash the power of the Internet of Things for every type of user

– from shoppers and motorists to holidaymakers and sports enthusiasts.Partners in the COMPOSE project have

built a cloud platform that helps developers navigate their way smoothly through the booming, but often chaotic, Internet of Things (IoT). Their mission is

simple: to allow developers to create apps that provide people with Internet

services and launch them into the market quickly – whether that be

shopping or traffic information systems, or home-based apps for monitoring, say,

energy and water use.

INNOVATIVE ELEMENTS THAT DISTINGUISH THE SYSTEMS CONTROL AND MONITORING OF

POWER ENGINEERING

Power Engineering is one of the few Italian Companies that designs, implements and optimizes all its solutions using integrated systems (universally known as embedded systems), namely: electronic microprocessor processing - made entirely at their own labs -

designed specifically for particular application, ie not re-programmable by the user for other purposes. This technology requires an approach to complex systems that brings together hardware, software design and control theory in a coherent and integrated way

For embedded systems will require high-end performance, high reliability and consistent performance over time, so the software and firmware are designed and tested with much more attention than the software of personal computer.

EFFICIENCY • Thanks to the reduced use of hardware power consumption is dramatically reduced

The advantages achievable with the integrated systems by Power Engineering

Software

Home automation solutions for almost all applications support

software and interfaces for connection are made from C, Java and Jsp.

Except in very rare cases the software is never sold,

but given in seconds using terms license.

There are many software companies that develop

customized firmware which is written and

tailored to the specific needs of its customers.

Manufacturers

There are companies producing hardware,

electronic components and devices for industrial and

home automation.

An important place is occupied by those

companies that design and manufacture printed circuit

boards (full or less of electrical and electronic components), network

servers, sensors, adapters, sensors, PLCs

(Programmable Logic Control), micro controllers,

etc..

Integrated Systems

Many of the systems used in home automation are

really only nominally "integrated".

  Generally appear to be the result of careful

assembly of hardware and software components

connected to vehiculate objects, quantities and

sizes on the web.

  The weak point of many of these systems is the difficulty of achieving an effective interoperability

between products of different standards.

This diagram shows the typical activities of companies in the market that contributes to the creation and assembly of

systems and solutions for "home automation" and "smart home"

What is SmartPLCSmartPLC is a platform of advanced telemetry, remote management and remote control that operates on the LAN net independently. The use of TCP / IP (the same that is the basis of the Internet) allows the complete transparency of the system in respect of the protocol used for communication. This solution allows vehicular communication through any technology (Modem, ADSL, GPRS, UMTS, 3G) without customization or being invasive.

Laboratories

For the refinement of agricultural products, and since most of the plants are highly sensitive about temperature, humidity and sunshine intensity during their growth period , our company has developed a project - SMART GREENHOUSE - which intends to implement an automated greenhouse management system to carefully monitor the important environmental factors. Therefore, the greenhouse needs a complete solution that includes a computer, IO modules and software to monitor and automatically control the various equipment, like turning fans on at higher temperatures, pumping water to the plants when soil moisture is too low, using the sun shade mesh whilst the sun is at its strongest, in real time,. Meanwhile, the related data has to be remotely accessed no matter what terminal devices are used such as smart phone, Notebook, desktop PC, or tablet computer so that supervisors can track the conditions of the greenhouse.

Monitor & Control (options)

Advances in computer technology have made owning and operating greenhouse easier than ever before. SMART GREENHOUSE environmental control options can aid the home gardener or professional horticulturists by

automatically adjusting temperature, irrigation, humidity, CO2 concentrations and light intensity from within the greenhouse or from a remote location. An environmental control system will improve plant life within greenhouse by

providing a constantly monitored atmosphere, producing a more uniform product.

In addition to common greenhouse accessories, SMART GREENHOUSE, can be designed to accommodate advanced features like evaporation coolers and foggers, drip systems, semaphores, remote programming, photo and light sensors, and soil sensors. The horticulturists’ time can now be spent tending to plants rather than tinkering with their growing environment. Beyond the cost and time efficiency of the greenhouse control system, Mother Nature will benefit. Control systems reduce the need for chemicals to aid plant growth as the environment is more closely adjusted to create the ideal conditions and reduce energy costs and waste.

The brain of the SMART GREEHOUSE system is a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) that includes a web server allowing remote access to greenhouse status
