Sensor and Automation Event Processing in the Real World(Existing Customer Use Cases)

Sam Rehman <samuelson.rehman@oracle.com>Director of DevelopmentRFID, Sensor and Automation

...and that if the subject, or even only the subjective constitution of the senses in general, be removed, the whole constitution and all the relations of objects in space and time, nay space and time themselves, would vanish.

With this alone, have we any concern.

Sensors and Automation Overview

Sensors Data Intelligence Insight Data made relevant to your business

Patient details and history?

Has it crossed the

border?Where is mypackage?

Are these authentic products?

Right medication?

Any hazardous materials?

Has it been tampered?

Is the food still fresh?

Typical Sensors

• Temperature (Thermocouple and RST)• Motion/Presence/Location/Direction/Identification

(GPS, IRBB, CMOS, RFID, RTLS, UWB, SAW, MiFARE, etc)

• Weight (Electronic Scales, etc)• Dry Contacts• Bio-sensors (Retina, fingerprints, etc)

Typical Actuators and Indicators

• Message Boards (LED, LCD, SBCs, screens,lightstacks,etc)

• MHE (Carousels, ASRS, etc)• General PLCs

Wide range of uses

• Supply chain• out of stock reduction, automation• Reduce shelf management

• Homeland Security• US Visit• Container tracking (Tom Ridge)• Critical infrastructure protection

• Transportation• Container management, security, • Hazmat

• Asset Tracking• Hazmat (chems, explosives)• Sensitive materials (vaccines)• Expensive (construction)

• Sensor Networks• DoD, Homeland Security, Natural

Resource Management

• Pharma• Electronic Pedigree

• Healthcare• Patients

• Equipment

SES Event Processing Support

• Domain Specific• Custom coded needed for specific vertical• Eg: Pallet Processor (WMS), Choke (T&T), Presence (Pharma), etc

• SI Provides Processors:• SI uses our framework to build reusable processors for their typical

customers• Generic Parameterized Local Processors

• Based on generic algorithms• Support for temporal (sliding window) for transient events

• Custom Processors• Self contained user provided extensions (remotely deployed and

managed)• Long Term Conditions

• DBMS Rulesets and Expression Filters• CEP Engine (Future releases)

• Meta data driven processing with windowing support

TIMETIME

2. Event “Enter” generated:• Note there is NO preamble•Rise of edge is defined as rise afterdrop for X period of time

1. Pull not seen• e.g Tag is not in field in this timeline

3. Level rises and drops:• level rises afterwards and drops in non-predictable intervals•Tolerance level for drop detection is based on sliding window, not just from start

4. Cannot consider drop yet• Since there is no sync word

5. Event “Exit” generated• Edge drops for Y period

Typical Parameterized Event Processing:Smoothing and Edge Detections

Challenges

• Parameterized Processing is not flexible enough• Some customer still needs to customize code (deployment and

support issues)• Custom (java coded) processors only works for common cases, and

will not scale with the range of use cases• Need more visibility and simulation into processing• Cannot handle both short and wide temporal windows in one

language• Centralized tool sets for: Defining processing logics, monitoring,

viewing exceptions, setting up bindings• Difficult to define bindings to adapters (dissemination)• Has to be embeddable into Vertical and Horizontal Applications!!!

(how to expose the predicates and tools?)

Real life Use Cases

Multi-dimensional Track and TraceEnd to end monitoring and audit trail for perishable goods

• Tracking from original packaging to retail• Re-packaging, Presence, Choke, Temperature and Light

exposure has to be monitored and evaluated every step of the way

3PL Ships hands items in temp. controlled containers

Manufacturer packages and tags the containers

Warehouses with environment control bins/shelves

Retail stores with temperature control back-store and shelves

Today’s Challenges/Shortcomings Soft identity easily stolen Security & safety compliance Proprietary architecture

Sensor-Based Benefits Real-time location & status information Physical identification Open architecture yet maintain end to

end cryptography

User trying to enter secure area

Major doorways equipped with readers and indicator, may include keypad for challenge keys

Request to enter send to backend IM system, response could be challenge or auth token

User authorized (or denied). Sends back indicator or open doorway. Attempts and Entry is logged and stored in dbms for audit

Physical Identification: Control AccessOpen architecture for secure identification

Today’s Challenges/Shortcomings Replenishment based on “latent

guesstimates” Promotes excess inventories with risk

of parts obsolescence

Sensor-Based Benefits Real-time spares consumption

information with auto-triggering of replenishment orders

Improved inventory management

Service tech needs component off shelf to complete repair

Removing component from shelf sends signal to receiver

Receiver sends signal to APS applications

APS interprets signal as “real demand” and increments demand signal by actual consumed quantity or triggers replenishment order

Location = Shelf 1Quantity = 1

Location = Station 5Quantity = 1

Backend Applications:(EAM, CRM FS, etc)

Typical Local Processing

Generate equipment alert if:

•Temp. on reg. “Engine15” rise above 110ºF for more than X minutes, and no gaps more than 2 seconds

•Running mean on temp gradually rising over 2% every month
