The rapid progress of digitalisation is constantly giving rise to new application possibilities. This undoubtedly includes the “Sensor-as-a-Service” business model, which involves the evaluation and use of specifically recorded smart sensor data. The information content of the data enables service providers, for example, to provide certain services at the right time and in the right place, and thus particularly economically. The prerequisites for this are (1) communication-capable, specific (smart) sensors, (2) a secure and cost-effective transport of the generated data to the internet or a cloud, (3) an application-specific evaluation and presentation of the data content in the cloud, and (4) the automatic initiation or execution of certain services on the basis of the determined information.
