Study Notes
Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) Focus Areas
- Vertically integrates systems, from machines to the cloud
- Horizontally integrates supply networks
- Covers the entire product life cycle
Key Challenges
- Increasing productivity through higher throughput and efficiency
- Preventing failures and maintaining high product quality
- Achieving flexible design for easy configuration and to avoid technology gaps
IIoT Architecture Layers
- Edge: Monitors production equipment using sensors (machines, robots, conveyors)
- Plant: Collects and processes data for analytics at the plant level
- Cloud/Enterprise: Conducts higher-level analytics and ensures continuous operation during connectivity problems
Key Components
- Edge Devices: Include sensors and are integrated with SCADA systems, communicating via protocols such as Profibus, OPC, and MQTT
- Gateways: Act as bridges between systems, enabling edge analytics, local data storage, and autonomy during connection failures
Data Flow
- Edge Analytics: Processes data at the edge and sends commands back to equipment
- Plant Service Bus: Manages plant-level data, ensuring security and protocol compliance
- Analytics: Uses threshold-based or model-based methods for predictive maintenance and quality control
Operational Importance
- IIoT systems must maintain factory operations, even if cloud or enterprise systems fail
