TOTW №6: Use cases for Pebble Tracker

One field where IoT is going to be disruptive, is the “Product as a Service” in Manufacturing. This means shifting from the concept of “standalone” products to a “product+service” concept, that results in better engaging with customers and, eventually, provides more value to them.

“Product as a service” is accomplished by allowing the products to “sense themselves”, and continuously communicate to the manufacturer information about usage and condition: the manufacturer can then make use of the data to provide a better service like delivering proactive maintenance or support the customer with totally new types of services.

In this scenario, Pebble Tracker would be the “hearth” of this new “sensing” ability integrated into the products: many products could be easily transformed in “pay-per-use” systems where, for example, the usage statistics would be collected and stored on the blockchain by leveraging Pebble Tracker integrated gps & accelerometer.

Compared to existing solutions, not only manufacturers have a number of useful sensors in one single tracker, but all the data collected would leverage military grade security and end-to-end trust by design: thanks to Pebble secure hardware components for data collection, and IoTeX Blockchain infrastructure for data transmission.

I know the “competition” is finished but still:

a) Aviation - you can promote it as an alternative to blackbox which tracks the movement of the aircraft. better if your tracking works underwater!

b) Health monitoring of structure, bridges - especially in earthquake zone.

c) Make it into a nicer design - and this can be use-case for dementia patient. Help them to remember ways home, etc.

d) Again please reduce the size of your device and make it water-proof. Animal can have it as a trackers (for herds travel around plateau for feeding - cows, horses, etc).

e) For wine industry - keeping track of temperature, humidity, etc.

  • To conclude - the design of the pebble trackers needs to have variations and different sizes.

Contact major innovation universities please, they will give you another tons of suggestions.
