Applications
Types of application
- High mobility High throughout: Vehicle management, connected personal devices
- Low mobility High throughout: traffic video capturers
- High mobility Low throughput: Battlefield communication, telemedicine, digital signage
- Low mobility Low throughput: industrial pumps, environment, homes
Towards industry 4.0
- Industry 1.0: Steam power, mechanisation, weaving loom
- Industry 2.0: Assembly lines, mass production
- Industry 3.0: Computers, Automation and electronics
- Industry 4.0: Internet of Things, Cyber physical systems
OT Vs IT
operational technology focuses on control and management of operational devices, usually crucial in industrial context.
Here, availability is the main priority. Followed by integrity and security. Whereas in information technology security is critical, more important than integrity or availability.
the motivation behind architectures
We have a few challenges in this field
Scalability
Ipv4 is no longer enough, a shift to ipv6
Huge amount of created data
We need analytics to take place across the whole ecosystem
Security
Each node could be vulnerable
Hardware limitations
We need to leverage new designs or modify our layers
Interoperability
There are many protocols, which complicates their integration and communication
Two suggested architectures
Onem2m and IoTWF
onem2m
The idea is to create a service layer which has rest API support
IoTWF
This is more of an standardization for IoT layers.
We have seven layers
It basically divides Platform part of the hierarchy into these layers
Things later:
- Devices and sensors
Network layer
- Connectivity layer
Platform layer:
- Edge computing
- Data accumulation
- Data abstraction
Application layer:
- application
- collaboration and processes
