Implementing IoT Streaming Analytics Scenarios With Streaming Lite

Streaming Lite is a light-weight version of the Smart Data Streaming (“SDS”) server designed to run on IoT gateways to process data close to the source. A great example use case for applying complex event stream processing on the edge is a Worker Safety demo that the SAP IoT team has built in cooperation with Intel. In this reference sample, data from gas, motion and heart rate sensors is continuously processed through a Streaming Lite project to detect and react to unsafe situations. The first level of alert is generated when a dangerous gas level is detected. In this case an alert is generated for both the workers to evacuate the area and for the supervisor initiate a response. The second level of alert is generated when the pattern of a dangerous gas level is detected followed by detecting from the motion sensor that the worker is now prone. This combination of events results in a more urgent alert to respond to the immediate worker safety event.

Intel has provided a solution brief titled Intel and SAP IoT Bring Actionable Insights to the Edge that describes this reference use case in more detail.
