OVERVIEW
The “Industrial IoT Testbed” is a state-of-the-art Research Platform, showcasing the most advanced technologies used in Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) such as:
- Time Synchronous Networking (TSN)
- Cloud-based System Monitoring and Management technologies
- Augmented Reality Visualization
TSN Demonstration System allows to achieve high precision timing synchronization between two networks over a single Ethernet connection using IEEE 802.1AS standard, along with the capability of deterministic data transfer using IEEE 802.1Qbv standard.
Cloud-based System Monitoring and Management technologies are applied to a small-scale Water-Circulation system, equipped with a number of sensors and fault-insertion systems. The initial signal processing is performed on the Edge Devices that publish all the acquired data over OPC-UA and make it accessible to on-premise Cloud services of visualization, analysis and predictive analytics.
The Management and Control of the Testbed is performed remotely via Web-Interface that gives the operator real-time data acquired by the Edge Devices and ability to insert various faults into the system.
The System provides high level of flexibility to process and modify the data adding Predictive Analytics functionality and predicting the possible faults with Artificial Intelligence.
