Complex Event Processing

Mobile workers, fleet, and equipment operations are generating increasing amounts of data to be analyzed. For example, GPS-enabled fleets and workers equipped with Smart Phones can output significant amounts of data. The problem is:

  • Supervisors don’t have enough resources to analyze the data

  • It is difficult to determine what data is important

  • Too much data and not enough information

The answer is focused on higher-order events that can be detected in these large data streams. CertusView’s mobile Complex Event Processing (CEP) application can be deployed at a mobile level to detect events as they occur in the field. For example if:

  1. the worker’s smartphone ticket management application reported an open work order
  2. the vehicle reported the worker was moving away from the location
  3. the time of the event was 5 pm
  4. and the ticket was marked as a high priority.

You may be able to correlate the fact that the job may not be completed today and the customer needs to be notified or a work crew redirected. In either case, the CEP application provided the manager with a decision that would not have been visible and an opportunity to take corrective action.
