September 27, 2009 - Tridium released a whitepaper that lays out a vision for how everyday things can be woven into the fabric of the Web. The whitepaper discusses the state of device networks and how IP and Web technologies can become enablers to tap the huge potential of smart devices. The whitepaper, entitled "The Web of Things" explores how The Internet is a key enabler for the Web, but it has been the Web itself which really transformed information technology and society as a whole. Likewise, the Internet of Things is just an enabler for what we really want: the Web of Things. The Internet of Things gives everyday devices an IP address and lets them plug into the Internet. But the Web of Things lets those devices integrate into the fabric of the Web itself and our lives. It is the Web of Things which truly unlocks the potential of device networking. IP enables inter-networking, but Web technologies enable information sharing. The white paper is now available for free download at http://www.tridium.com/galleries/white_papers/WP-SedonaWeb.pdf About Tridium Tridium is the global leader in open platforms, application software frameworks, automation infrastructure technology, energy management and device-to-enterprise integration solutions. Our technologies extend connectivity, integration and interoperability to the millions of devices deployed in the market today and empowers manufacturers to develop intelligent equipment systems and smart devices that enable collaboration and communication between the enterprise and edge assets. The Niagara Framework is a software platform that integrates diverse systems and devices regardless of manufacturer, or communication protocol into a unified platform that can be easily managed and controlled in real time over the Internet using a standard web browser. By integrating today's diverse building systems such as environmental controls, security, lighting, energy, video, fire and life safety, Niagara is creating better buildings---ones that are smarter, use less energy, are more efficient, have lower operating costs, are safer and contribute to a sustainable environment The Sedona Framework is the industry's first, open source development framework that provides a complete software platform for developing, deploying, integrating, and managing pervasive device applications at the lowest level. It brings the power of programmable control and the Internet down to extremely inexpensive devices. The Sedona Framework distributes decision making control and manageability to any device and brings intelligence and connectivity to the network edge and back. The company is an independent business entity of Honeywell International Inc. |
