Today's industrial factory networks have neither been designed for traffic demands of new applications that use machine learning (ML) nor have they considered a deep connection with the cloud. Accordingly, there is a lack of knowledge w.r.t how to ...

This paper presents SymbIoT, an extensible hybrid simulation-emulation testbed to investigate the integration of blockchain and distributed ledger technology (DLT) within the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) continuum. By adopting a joint software ...

The shift in the industrial ecosystem from closed and specialized technologies to the open and general-purpose vision of Industry 4.0 faces numerous challenges. The absence of viable solutions to replace Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), vital ...

Convergence between Operational Technology (OT) and Information Technology (IT) remains an aspirational goal due to the lack of a systematic integrated approach. The next-generation Industry 4.0 will automate operations even more, involving different ...

There is no holistic approach that provides a full implementation and integration of flexible container platforms with time-sensitive networks in industrial factories yet. This hinders innovation and also withhelds the advantages of flexible ...

Cloud-based SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems enable seamless access to internet of things (IoT) operational data for employees at control facilities and operators working on the field for automated control and monitoring of ...

Conventional localization methods like GNSS face limitations in accuracy, power consumption, and cost within indoor environments. Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology and the fingerprint method have emerged as popular options for short-range ...
