Objectives
Objectives
Design and prototype a sensing network with cloud data analytics. In collaboration with a local industrial partner.
Description
Description
The initial goal in this project was to help a company serving the oil and mining industry making its first steps into the IoT/Blockchain world. The relationship with the industrial partner lasted one year and a half. Many different IoT open source components were designed and tested.

Economic model
Economic model
The short-term economic model for this venture is based mostly on public funding and crowdfunding.
The long-term economic model for this venture is built around open innovation and distributed manufacturing (DIY).
In short, for the long run, we're geared towards providing:
DIY kits (can be transactional kit sales) that provide required vitamins (non-digitally manufactured components) to build a particular tool (Zimmermann, 2014; Gibney, 2016).
Specialty parts / components, hard-to-find, custom (ex. BackYard Brains or OpenQCM both sell the most specialized and hardest to source components for their respective open hardware tools).
Help with calibrating and validating (scientific) hardware (can be transactional service) to provide security to prosumers who build their own tools. This provides prosumers with the confidence that their measurements or functionality are acceptably reproducible, accurate and precise.
Education / Training (ex. Open Source Ecology), include support. This can also follow the consulting business model (Fjelsted et al., 2012).
Ecosystem services: provide trust, validation, discoverability, help, a place to discuss and collaborate, etc.

More on p2p economic models
VENTURES are COLLABORATIVE, TRANSPARENT (anyone has access to the information that they produce) and OPEN (anyone can participate). They only produce deliverables based on OPEN SOURCE technology. VENTURES have a CUSTODIAN that represents them legally and acts as a trust for their tangible assets. VENTURES can have multiple EXCHANGE FIRMS, which are commercial entities that move products and services developed by VENTURES on the MARKET. EXCHANGE FIRMS oblige themselves by contract with the CUSTODIAN to share PROFIT with all contributors to VENTURES, from which they commercialize PRODUCTS.
