Use Of Internet

After the emergence of the Internet and mobile communication networks, the IoT has been considered as the third wave of information technology. The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is the use of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies in manufacturing. IIoT incorporates machine learning and big data technology, sensor data, and machine-to-machine (M2M) communications that have existed in industrial areas for years. In the future, people and objects will be connected at any time, any place, with anything and anyone and will utilize any network and services. IIoT is creating a new world in which people and businesses can manage their assets in more informed ways and can make more opportune and better-informed decisions. Many advanced IIoT and 5G technologies have been successfully applied in everyday life, but there are still many practical problems tackled by traditional methods which are generally difficult to experimentally solve in the advanced Industrial Internet of Things. Therefore, in this special issue, we accepted five articles in three different dimensions: communication networks, optimized resource provisioning and data forwarding, privacy and security.

Industrial Internet of Things is becoming one of the fundamental technologies with the potential to be widely used in shipyards as in other industries to increase information visibility. This article aims to analyze how to develop an industrial IoT-enabled system that provides visibility and tracking of assets at SEDEF Shipyard, which is in the digital transformation process. The research made use of data from previous studies and by using content analysis, the findings were discussed. Industrial IoT enables the collection and analysis of data for more informed decisions.  Based on the findings, sensor data in the shipyard are transmitted to the cloud via connected networks. These data are analysed and combined with other information and presented to the stakeholders. Industrial IoT enables this data flow and monitors processes remotely and gives the ability to quickly change plans as needed.

Industrial Internet

Smart cameras and image sensors are widely used in industrial processes, from the designing to the quality checking of the final product. Images generated by these sensors are at continuous risk of disclosure and privacy breach in the industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). Traditional solutions to secure sensitive data fade in IIoT environments because of the involvement of third parties. Blockchain technology is the modern-day solution for trust issues and eliminating or minimizing the role of the third party. In the context of the IIoT, we propose a permissioned private blockchain-based solution to secure the image while encrypting it. In this scheme, the cryptographic pixel values of an image are stored on the blockchain, ensuring the privacy and security of the image data. Based on the number of pixels change rate (NPCR), the unified averaged changed intensity (UACI), and information entropy analysis, we evaluate the strength of proposed image encryption algorithm ciphers with respect to differential attacks. We obtained entropy values near to an ideal value of 8, which is considered to be safe from brute force attack. Encrypted results show that the proposed scheme is highly effective for data leakage prevention and security.

Design Characteristics

Functional safety networks are becoming of paramount importance in industrial systems, due to the progressive innovation introduced by the Industry 4.0 paradigm, characterized by high production flexibility, reliability and scalability. In this context, new and challenging applications have emerged such as hyperautomation, which refers to the combination of machine vision, robotics, communication, and learning, with the explicit involvement of humans. This requires the pervasive and ubiquitous connectivity encompassed by the Industrial Internet of Things, typically achieved via wireless systems. As an example, wireless communications are today fundamental to open up to new categories of autonomous devices that can actively collaborate with human personnel in the production process. This challenging scenario has important implications for safety. Indeed, a reliable coordination among sensors, actuators and computing systems is required to provide satisfactory levels of safety, especially in the case of innovative processes and technologies, such as mobile and collaborative robotics. Hence, it becomes imperative to ensure the correct transfer of safety-critical data via communication networks. In this paper, we address the challenges concerned with functional safety networks and protocols in Industrial Internet of Things ecosystems. We first introduce the design characteristics of functional safety networks and discuss the adoption of safety protocols over wireless networks. Then, we specifically address one of such protocols, namely Fail Safety over EtherCAT (FSoE), and provide the results of an extensive experimental session carried out exploiting a prototype system, implemented using commercial devices based on a WiFi network. Finally, the outcomes of the experiments are used as a basis for a discussion about future trends of functional safety in the Industrial Internet of Things era.

The new industrial revolution Industry 4.0, connecting manufacturing process with digital technologies that can communicate, analyze, and use information for intelligent decision making includes Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) to help manufactures and consumers for efficient controlling and monitoring. This work presents the design and implementation of an IIoT ecosystem for smart factories. The design is based on Siemens Simatic IoT2040, an intelligent industrial gateway that is connected to modbus sensors publishing data onto Network Platform for Internet of Everything (NETPIE). The design demonstrates the capabilities of Simatic IoT2040 by taking Python, Node-Red, and Mosca into account that works simultaneously on the device.

Произведен обзор технологий в рамках концепции четвертой промышленной революции, рассмотрены примеры реализации новых моделей управления технологическими процессами на базе промышленного интернета вещей. Описано техническое устройство основных подсистем системы мониторинга и контроля, служащей для повышения осведомленности о фактическом состоянии производственных ресурсов в особенности станков и аддитивного оборудования в режиме реального времени. Архитектура предлагаемой системы состоит из устройства сбора данных (УСД), реализующего быстрый и эффективный сбор данных от станков и шлюза, передающего ликвидную часть информации в облачное хранилище для дальнейшей обработки и анализа. Передача данных выполняется на двух уровнях: локально в цехе, с использованием беспроводной сенсорной сети (WSN) на базе стека протоколов ZigBee от устройства сбора данных к шлюзам и от шлюзов в облако с использованием интернет-протоколов. Разработан алгоритм инициализации протоколов связи между устройством сбора данных и шлюзом, а также алгоритм выявления неисправностей в сети. Расчет фактического времени обработки станочных подсистем позволяет более эффективно планировать профилактическое обслуживание вместо того, чтобы выполнять задачи обслуживания в фиксированные интервалы без учета времени использования оборудования We carried out a review of technologies within the framework of the concept of the fourth industrial revolution; we considered examples of the implementation of new models of process control based on the industrial Internet of things. We described the technical structure of the main subsystems of the monitoring and control system to increase awareness of the actual state of production resources in particular machine tools and additive equipment in real time. The architecture of the proposed system consists of a data acquisition device (DAD) that implements fast and efficient data collection from machines and a gateway that transfers the liquid part of information to the cloud storage for further processing and analysis. We carried out the data transmission at two levels, locally in the workshop, using a wireless sensor network (WSN) based on ZigBee protocol stack from the data acquisition device to the gateways and from the gateways to the cloud using Internet protocols. An algorithm was developed for initializing communication protocols between a data acquisition device and a gateway, as well as an algorithm for detecting network malfunctions. Calculating the actual machining time of machine subsystems allows us to more efficiently scheduling preventive maintenance rather than performing maintenance tasks at fixed intervals without considering equipment usage
