Razvoj IoT prehoda za potrebe pametnih tovarn

Dandanes se mnoga podjetja v industriji srečujejo s potrebo po digitalni transformaciji. Hiter razvoj na področju interneta stvari prinaša številne tehnologije, ki pripomorejo k zajemu podatkov o dogajanju v proizvodnji in prenos teh v zaledne sisteme, kjer jih lahko povežemo s podatki o poslovanju. Problem povezljivosti naprav se rešuje z uporabo IoT prehodov. Sprva so IoT prehodi služili predvsem za povezovanje naprav danes pa se povečujejo zahteve po dodatni funkcionalnosti, ki naj bi podpirala nameščanje poljubne programske opreme na prehode in s tem omogočala transformacijo navadnega prehoda v prehod z dodano lokalno inteligenco. Razdelali smo arhitekturo takšnega IoT prehoda ter definirali osnovne funkcionalnosti. Na podlagi razdelane arhitekture smo razvili programsko opremo za transformacijo naprav v IoT prehod, oblačno aplikacijo za potrebe registracije in povezave IoT prehodov in omogočili uporabniku uporabo oblačne platforme za potrebe analize in izvoza podatkov. Internet of things had a rapid development over past few years. We can use different technologies for connecting devices and use them for data gathering. This data is usually sent to the cloud systems for analysis and storage. Different devices use different communication protocols therefore device interoperability was always a problem in internet of things. This problem was usually solved with the use of IoT gateways that acted like a bridge for connecting different devices to cloud systems. Today these gateways are required to perform additional tasks and are becoming smarter. We have designed a software architecture for a smart IoT gateway and defined basic functionalities. According to our design we have implemented a prototype of a IoT gateway, cloud application for connecting IoT gateways and overall system overview. Besides that we have enabled users to use full power of cloud platform for data analysis, storage and export.
