DeviceHub

DeviceHub is an IT Asset Management System focused in reusing devices, created under the project eReuse.org.

Our main objectives are:

To offer a common IT Asset Management for donors, receivers and IT professionals so they can manage devices and exchange them. This is, reusing –and ultimately recycling.
To automatically recollect, analyse, process and share (controlling privacy) metadata about devices with other tools of the eReuse ecosystem to guarantee traceability, and to provide inputs for the indicators which measure circularity.
To highly integrate with existing IT Asset Management Systems.
To be decentralized.

DeviceHub is a server providing a RESTful API extending Eve.

General info

DeviceHub uses mainly 3 types of objects, with many subtypes. These are:

Devices. From smartphones to computers. Some devices can have inner devices, called components. Both a computer and a graphic card are devices. A graphic card is a component too, because it can be inside of a computer.
Events, or things that happen to the devices. We never work on devices directly, but we perform events to them. We can Repair a device, Allocate it to an employee, etc.
Accounts, which represent users. They perform the events.
