However, many manufacturers develop closed protocols and protect their market share, limiting in ways this collaboration. This paper presents a conceptual architecture improves proactive between IoT regardless developed by manufacturers. aims identify entities environments, describe features interfaces, strategies fostering collaborations. As result, from different communicate create collaborative environment simple, efficient, affordable way. has been evaluated real simulated environment, validate its feasibility efficiency.
