Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are a new paradigm of telecommunication networks. WSNs are designed to perform efficient data collection and environment monitoring, among other applications. This article presents an approach of modelling and simulation of cooperation between active products that are equipped with a platform of sensor networks and ambient communication capabilities in order to increase their security, in a context of ambient intelligence of a deposit for chemical substances. The concept of active products supported by a model that we propose, offers the possibility for objects to interact between them in an autonomous, transparent and intelligent way, without any human help. Indeed, the model presented exploits the advantages offered by a network of sensors to generate active interactions between the products in order to guarantee active security, i.e., an interaction bilateral protected, transparent, autonomous and intelligent. We introduce the term of active security in industrial chemical storage sector, taken in charge directly by the active product subjugated by a constrained security level. The simulation of the model assembled with the Castalia-OMNET++ Tools language.
