Abstract

The contemporary scenario sees the substantial affirmation of innovative technologies as digital tools necessary for the creation of an increasingly connected society. These technologies have a systemic relevance as they feed the value of the production system chain and have the ability to innovate processes, products and services in all economic sectors of human activity. The TIAMBIENTA project is focused on creating an ecosystem of home automation services through the use and integration of the new tools of digital technology for the design of the interior spaces of the motorhome. The project involves the construction of a cloud home automation sensor system. The sensor network will be interconnected through a control unit capable of collecting data, sending it to the central cloud platform and introducing direct implementation protocols on the internal environment control systems of the motorhome. Among the various enabling technologies that we have taken into consideration, a fundamental role has been given to ICTs, information and communication technologies, fundamental for collecting the data and recording and adjusting the user experience.

Notes

  1. 1.

    “Fundamental enabling technologies (KET) are investments and technologies that will allow European industries to maintain competitiveness and capitalize on new markets. The Industrial Technologies (NMP) program focuses on four KETs: nanotechnology, advanced materials and advanced production and treatment (production technologies) and biotechnology”. See https://ec.europa.eu/programmes/horizon2020/en/area/key-enabling-technologies.

  2. 2.

    The German term Industrie 4.0 was first introduced in 2011 at the Hannover Fair in Germany and was invented and promoted by three engineers: Henning Kagermann (physicist and one of the founders of SAP), Wolfgang Wahlster (professor of intelligence artificial), and Wolf-Dieter Lukas (German physicist and senior official from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research) who spoke about it during a press conference.

  3. 3.

    In this regard, the definition on digital transformation given by The Agile Elephant, one of the first consultancy agencies that studied and theorized the phenomenon, is interesting: “Digital transformation involves a change of leadership, a different way of thinking, new models of business and greater use of technology to improve the experience of employees, customers, suppliers, partners and all interested parties of the organization”.
