How it works

With rich application programming interfaces (APIs), semantics, temporal data storage, active computational capabilities and access control, the EVRYTHNG Engine provides a full toolset to operate the online presence of millions of individual products - each one with its own unique digital identity.

EVRYTHNG supports connected and tagged objects using a variety of technologies (including NFC, QR, mbed and more), and provides development tools to make it easy to transact with products as smart Web objects.

Applications can communicate with a product through its Active Digital Identity™ on the Web. Using web services, APIs makes it easy to drive applications independently of how products are connected, and connected products can be directly controlled from the Web.

Key Features

• Create unique and persistent digital identities on the Web for any physical object. Each Active Digital Identity™ has its own URI, and integration with tagging technologies.
• Build and integrate with applications easily with a rich set of RESTful standards compliant Web APIs.
• Custom define object metadata properties, and store an unlimited amount of real-time binary, textual and geo-locational object information.
• Semantically annotate descriptions of products and their metadata (using hProduct microformat).
• Group products and other objects in collections and easily manage batch properties and product templates.
• Retrieve temporal object information with an ability to query a product's state at a point or period in time.
• Link products and other objects with third party entities, including social network identities, CRM and ERP records.
• Securely manage access to products with fine-grained data access authorization and permissions.
• All data is protected with secure connectivity using HTTPS and crypto-secure API keys.

Key benefits

• FLEXIBILITY: Work with tagged or directly connected products, supporting QR, NFC, embedded controllers and other tagging and connectivity methods, easily work with object collections and name spaces.
• SECURITY: Secure and reliable cloud infrastructure, secured API access, fine-grained access and permissions control.
• OPENNESS: Easy to integrate, extensible functionality via open Web standards, RESTful APIs and machine readable metadata.
• SIMPLICITY: On-demand availability; SaaS pricing model; standards-based RESTful APIs; Web technology for rapid application development.
• CONTROL: You control your data at all times. You get a complete overview and configuration tools using Web-based dashboards, with fine-grained access and permissions control.
