SPACE & TIME = SPIME

• Spimes are the core objects of the Internet of Things

• Without spime:

• The manufacturer loses track of the produced product – unless there are complaints to customer service

• Gathering detailed feedback on product usage is costly and time-consuming

• Sometimes the only tie to product’s origin is the brand name somewhere written on it

Customer Disconnect

The Village

The World

• The (Industrial) Internet-of-Things buzz is now centered

around large objects, such as grid transformers, high-speed

trains and jet engines

• These are high end products in relatively small numbers,

even with all built-in sensors

• Platforms easily built with legacy architectures

• The New Spime Economy needs to touch and scale to the

smallest Things and businesses

• This is why BaseN has developed its own Platform for

the last 16 years, and as a teenager now opens it up to

the World
