The team developed a conceptual initial architecture for RTIMS. Research was conducted on security and motes. The team developed motes in a modular fashion with OTA upgrade functionality on a standard RTOS. A fog emulator was developed to test embedded applications and O&M issues. Research focused on data communications at the stope and visual positioning systems were integrated into the mote so that the motes functioned according to the Industrial Internet Consortium IIoT Reference Architecture. The hardware and software were open-source derivatives so that OEMS can incorporate the motes into equipment that is RTIMS-compatible.
