Getting through: modality selection in a multi-sensor-actuator industrial IoT environment

Recently, there has been increased interest in attention management [9, 10], especially when considering people being surrounded by multiple IoT devices. Current research is focused on providing ambient or non-disturbing notifications to users particularly in a (smart-)home environment where already a multitude of IoT devices are deployed nowadays. In contrast and in this paper, we present how we use IoT devices to perform workflow and attention recognition and use these devices to provide critical notifications which can actually be perceived by users in an industrial environment to steer him away from economically suboptimal or harmful situations.
