With the inclusion of tactile Internet (TI) in the industrial sector, we are at the doorstep of the tactile Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). This provides the ability for the human operator to control and manipulate remote industrial environments in real-time. The TI use cases in IIoT demand a communication network, including ultra-low latency, ultra-high reliability, availability, and security. Additionally, the lack of the tactile IIoT testbed has made it more severe to investigate and improve the quality of services (QoS) for tactile IIoT applications. In this work, we propose a virtual testbed called IoTactileSim, that offers implementation, investigation, and management for QoS provisioning in tactile IIoT services. IoTactileSim utilizes a network emulator Mininet and robotic simulator CoppeliaSim to perform real-time haptic teleoperations in virtual and physical environments. It provides the real-time monitoring of the implemented technology parametric values, network impairments (delay, packet loss), and data flow between operator (master domain) and teleoperator (slave domain). Finally, we investigate the results of two tactile IIoT environments to prove the potential of the proposed IoTactileSim testbed.

In the design and development process of fog computing solutions for the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), we need to take into consideration the characteristics of the industrial environment that must be met. These include low latency, predictability, response time, and operating with hard real-time compiling. A starting point may be the reference fog architecture released by the OpenFog Consortium (now part of the Industrial Internet Consortium), but it has a high abstraction level and does not define how to integrate the fieldbuses and devices into the fog system. Therefore, the biggest challenges in the design and implementation of fog solutions for IIoT is the diversity of fieldbuses and devices used in the industrial field and ensuring compliance with all constraints in terms of real-time compiling, low latency, and predictability. Thus, this paper proposes a solution for a fog node that addresses these issues and integrates industrial fieldbuses. For practical implementation, there are specialized systems on chips (SoCs) that provides support for real-time communication with the fieldbuses through specialized coprocessors and peripherals. In this paper, we describe the implementation of the fog node on a system based on Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC ZU3EG A484 SoC.

В статье рассматривается проблемы управления ИБ на территориально-распределённых объектах защиты. Во избежание простоев и для сохранения безопасности на предприятии необходимо внедрение технологий, позволяющих обнаруживать и прогнозировать риски. Предлагается с помощью промышленного интернета-вещей обеспечить непрерывный интеллектуальный мониторинг ключевых показателей, что дает возможность определить проблему и принять необходимые меры для ее решения. Оперативный в режиме реального времени анализ поможет специалисту ИБ быстрее находить уязвимые места и предотвратить несанкционированные действия на предприятии. This article discusses the problems of is management on geographically distributed security objects. In order to avoid downtime and to maintain security at the enterprise, it is necessary to introduce technologies that allow detecting and predicting risks. It is proposed to use the industrial Internet of things to provide continuous intellectual monitoring of key indicators, which makes it possible to identify the problem and take the necessary measures to solve it. Real-time real-time analysis will help the IB specialist find vulnerabilities faster and prevent unauthorized actions in the enterprise .

Over the years, the industrial and manufacturing applications have become highly connected and automated. The incorporation of interconnected smart sensors, actuators, instruments, and other devices helps in establishing higher reliability and efficiency in the industrial and manufacturing process. This has given rise to the industrial internet of things (IIoT). Since IIoT components are scattered all over the network, real-time authenticity of the IIoT activities becomes essential. Blockchain technology is being considered by the researchers as the decentralized architecture to securely process the IIoT transactions. However, there are challenges involved in effective implementation of blockchain in IIoT. This chapter presents the importance of blockchain in IIoT paradigm, its role in different IIoT applications, challenges involved, possible solutions to overcome the challenges and open research issues.

The article considers the problems of the development of the industrial Internet of things in the Republic of Belarus as one of the system-forming technologies in the industrial sector. Based on the analysis of terminological features of the Internet of things, the concept and main characteristics of the industrial Internet of things are revealed. The economic consequences of using this technology in industrial production are shown. The formation and development of the Internet market of things in the Republic of Belarus in the context of its infrastructure component, spheres of use, main producers and consumers is considered. The factors preventing the wider use of the Internet of things in the industry of Belarus, and the development prospects of the market under consideration are revealed.
