*2.3.9 Real-time controller*

Within the fast care project, the Harz University of Applied Sciences developed a real-time platform for the sensor data fusion of the partial realizations of the partners. For this purpose, a Linux-based application server was configured based on a communication protocol (MQTT) selected for the project. This "real-time controller", on which all information converges, forms the central "sensor data fusion". The device includes a rack mounted server PC with Intel I7 topology and a memory of 16 GByte 1600 MHz DDR3 which is depicted in **Figure 14**. The LINUX version is "Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.7 (Maipo)". The network interfaces are two 1 GB IEEE 802.3 and a "Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8192EE PCIe Wireless Network Adapter". More detailed information can be found in [21] the so called final design plan of the fast care project.
