Architecture and development of an Industrial Internet of Things framework for realizing services in Industrial Product Service Systems

Abstract

This paper presents the architecture and the development details of an Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) solution that supports the lifecycle of IPSSs (Industrial Product-Service Systems). The proposed framework supports the definition, commissioning and operation phases of services in IPSS. The framework utilizes an IIoT system architecture that enables services’ deployment both at the edge tier and in the platform tier and uses the enterprise tier for implementing specific applications that provide interfaces to end-users. A service for laser machine data analysis and aggregation is designed and implemented on top of the proposed framework in order to demonstrate the capabilities of it.
