Convert physical state into information.
The function with the fastest growth. Wayside wheel impact detectors, bearing temperature sensors, vibration monitors, satellites, IoT fleets, condition-monitoring signatures. Small per-unit capital, massive aggregate growth. The function that makes condition-based maintenance possible, and without which the other five functions are operating blind.
Each scope is a domain-specific tenant of the function. Content arrives per scope, versioned. The table below lists reserved scopes; reservation does not commit Kerne Systems to building content, it commits to the URL shape when content does arrive.
