$264,000.00

IoT-Enabled Self-Diagnostics System Design and Implementation for Spas

FY 2018-19 · 2019-03-04

Summary
The project aims to create an enterprise technology support system to facilitate a new type of corporate stores that provide centralized technical support. These goals will be achieved by implementing a system that draws from Internet of things methodologies as well as Industrial Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA), and from the diagnostic capabilities of the automotive industry (OBD) or on board diagnostics. We will specifically build from the user experience associated with the internet of things. We wish to adopt from the on-board diagnostic world the practice of diagnosing problems and provide a simple code which will allow the owner or dealer to know immediately what is wrong with the tub and also how to fix it.

Description (French)
Le projet vise à créer un système de soutien technologique d'entreprise pour faciliter un nouveau type de magasins corporatifs, qui offrent un soutien technique centralisé. Ces objectifs seront atteints grâce à la mise en œuvre d'un système qui s'appuie sur les méthodologies Internet des objets ainsi que sur le système d'acquisition et de contrôle de données (SCADA), et sur les capacités de diagnostic de l'industrie automobile ou de diagnostic à bord. Nous construirons spécifiquement à partir de l'expérience utilisateur associée à l'internet des objets. Nous souhaitons adopter dans le monde du diagnostic à bord la pratique de diagnostiquer les problèmes et fournir un code simple, qui permettra au propriétaire ou au revendeur de savoir immédiatement ce qui ne va pas avec la baignoire et aussi comment la réparer.
