10. M2M Integration Platform
• Everyware Cloud is about Device Data, about M2M: It has been built
from ground-up to provide an infrastructure that is specialized in
optimum device data comunication, collection, analysis and
management.
• It is an Integration Platform: Everyware Cloud is designed to act as an
intermediate system between the distributed devices and the
applications making use of the data coming from these devices. Any
communication certainly is two-way in nature allowing also applications
to control and manage the devices when required.
• Everyware Cloud is conceptually like an Operating System for the
Internet of Things enabling the transfer of device data independent of
any other language, platform or OS to and from Enterprise applications
What is Everyware Cloud?

Passenger / People Counting - M2M Applications

21. Vertical Market Example Use Case
Use Case: Tram Fleet Management Optimization
Application:
The customer, a transportation company based in Italy (Tramvie Venete
Bergamasche (TEB), Bergamo,), wanted to accomplish a fleet
management optimization by tuning the time table with particular attention
to school students fluxes. The solution consists of providing several trams
with Eurotech’s Passenger Counters and one DynaCOR per vehicle. This
combination enables passenger counting with associated GPS positioning,
doors opening/closing events and collection of other information with
regards to the route. Information is available for the customer through a
web application that leverages Eurotech’s Everyware Cloud platform.
