Abstract
Many industries, such as aeronautics construction are still equipped with legacy machines and are not keen to change old, however fully functional, equipment to new ones. Hence, an upgrade must be found to cope the legacy and fully functional machines to IoT technologies. This paper is a contribution to embrace those challenges in a new IoT architecture able to support the creation of solutions for Smart Industries. Internet of Things is increasing acceptance and the infrastructure for them is becoming available. This leads to an insurgence on investments and development of new dedicated IoT infrastructures. Industries need to adapt quickly to this constant technological evolution, implementing measures and connecting machines and robots at critical points to the Internet, instrumenting them using the concept of IoT, with the major goal of implementing a flexible, secure, easy to maintain and capable to evolve infrastructure, when legacy equipment is involved. The availability of machines and other critical assets directly affects the effectiveness of manufacturing operations. The architecture design offers security, flexibility, simplicity of implementation and maintenance, and is resilient to failures or attacks and technologically independent. Field tests are reported to evaluate key aspects of the proposed architecture.
Highlights
Cellular manufacturing systems have shown considerable good results in batch manufacturing platforms
With the goal of implementing a flexible, secure, easy to maintain and capable to evolve infrastructure, industries need to adapt quickly to this constant technological evolution, implementing measures and connecting machines and robots at critical points to the Internet, instrumenting them using the concept of Internet of Things (IoT)
This paper focused on the study and development of an IoT architecture for Smart Industry services providers
Summary
Cellular manufacturing systems have shown considerable good results in batch manufacturing platforms. The high flexibility cell design is recognized by the research community as a complex optimization problem [1] This flexibility leads to some wired network implementation difficulties. The diversified offer of IoT technologies and solutions to solve the same problems and suppress the same needs, lead to new challenges [3,9,10,13,14,15,16]. This multiplicity of solutions brings an extra effort to assure extra security measures that can overcome existing threats and overseen future risks [17].
