BPM for the Internet of Things

Troy Foster and Tom Debevoise, Bosch. A Remote Service Portal is implemented as a BPMN process receiving and acting on events triggered by aggregated data from physical sensors monitoring factory operations. Incidents generated by the events are handled by BPM users, who can take remedial action immediately, schedule preventive maintenance, or take other actions. A KPI dashboard provides drilldown views of factory operations.

Tom Debevoise is a Senior Director of Bosch Software Innovations. He is an executive technologist with 20+ years experience as a BPM/Business Rules architect and consultant. He has specific business rules experience in the fields of physical sercurity, supply chain management, petroleum, and health care. Tom’s recent book is ?A Microguide to Process Modeling in BPMN? (2011).
