Previous work has been done in order to reduce in a scenario of mass production, such as the industrial case, the waste and poor management of raw materials and resources which affect efficiency and ramp-up-time. Such work has developed a solution integrated in a system of monitoring and/or controlling production lines, the SmartComponent.

This work aims to further develop the SmartComponent in the management of all the sensor devices present in such system and connect WSN with FIWARE technology. As an open-source technology, FIWARE, which is based on Generic Enablers (GE) each divided in various categories, provides a vast sample of functions which can be used in a multiplicity of areas. Furthermore, in the scope of this dissertation, FIWARE was incorporated in a private context due of its consequential advantage of confidentiality, so important to the industrial sector in order to stand out against the competition. The test results showed an improved solution from the previously mentioned work, the SmartComponent. It was demonstrated that it is a better solution in the system, less complex than the previous one and with improved memory usage resulting in a more efficient system. Finally, this work was integrated in the scope of the European project - SelSus - co-founded by EU's Seventh Framework Programme.

Context Broker,  a FiWare component,  is an NGSI9/10 server implementation to manage context information and context information availability. Using the  Context Broker, you are able to register context elements and manage them through updates and queries. One can subscribe to context information so when some condition happen (for example,  an interval of time has passed,  a temperatute  threshold  or the context elements have changed) the user  receives a notification.

Context Broker runs as a backend service daemon. So, it doesn't have a Graphical User Interface (GUI). It is accessed through its REST API and  uses  JSON  objects  to  pass/receive  data.

It’s hard for me to get my head around what the scope of this is. It’s European (nothing in North America) and seems to have models and software for all sorts of things related to the IoT, Big Data and Smart Cities.

The FIWARE Community is an independent open community whose members are committed to materialise the FIWARE mission, that is: “to build an open sustainable ecosystem around public, royalty-free and implementation-driven software platform standards that will ease the development of new Smart Applications in multiple sectors”.
