AmI Products & Services as results of the AMI-4-SME project
AMI-4-SME ICT vendor partners are keen on an answer to the question: "How to penetrate the SME marketplace with innovative AmI solutions?" Therefore, the project intensively analysed the SME innovation needs within the business cases. This clearly indicated the SMEs' need for highly tailored turn-key solutions, required to guarantee the realisation of business benefits and competitive advantage.
To effectively serve those SME needs with turn-key solutions in a suitable price range, the AMI-4-SME project elaborated the following results:
-
Building Blocks as enablers for realising innovative AmI (Ambient Intelligent) as well
as human centred solutions:
- RFID based sensor system, mobile readers & middleware, highly compatible for integration with SME infrastructures.
- Speech recognition system, for implementing configurable natural human interaction on mobile devices; easy to generate & maintain; using standard interfaces.
- AmI system adaptor for mobile device, service & system integration. Enabling a flexible, secure & efficient configuration, mapping & interfacing of legacy systems, AmI services as well as mobile devices.
- AMI-4-SME Software Platform: to easily set-up the required runtime environment as well as software infrastructure to provide a cost and time efficient realisation of a human centric turn-key solution.
- AMI-4-SME Methodology: providing clear instructions, guidelines and templates for realising the successful utilisation of new AmI technologies. It is based on a traceable improvement process, driven by the company staff, enabling informed decisions of the management.
Systemic Innovation in Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs)
AMI-4-SME provides results, enabling SMEs to take advantage of new Information and Communication Technology (ICT) potentials. To achieve this, the project harmonised and jointly coordinated the development of the AmI building blocks, the AMI-4-SME software platform and the AMI-4-SME Methodology. They can be used in combination or as single modules - highly facilitating the realisation of AmI based solutions.
To benefit from these AMI-4-SME results, SMEs, consultancies as well as ICT providers can use them based on different license models. Several components are provided free-of-charge, while others as well as the AMI-4-SME partners' individual consultancy are offered at moderate costs. Specifically the following consultancy and products can be provided:
