One of the challenges launched by the emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT) phenomenon is the integration and harmonization of data produced by cyber-physical systems with those already present and generated by classical information systems. Things, on the other hand, are items that have physical sensors, devices actuators, or other tools to generate data and receive information from other sources. In this complex scenario, we can already talk about the Internet of Everything (IoE), an immense network of heterogeneous and complex elements. In this paper, we present a novel business solution supported by the Italian POR FESR 2014 - 2020 of Apulia Region, namely the Digital Future project, that acts as a high-level framework of applications for real-time platforms, integrating a wide variety of IoT services, leveraging data into more useful information, into interoperable industrial control networks to put humans in the loop, connecting them in a more relevant, valuable ways.
