An Internet-of-Things Enabled Smart Manufacturing Testbed

Abstract

The emergence of the industrial Internet of Things (IoT) and ever advancing computing and communication technologies have fueled a new industrial revolution which is happening worldwide to make current manufacturing systems smarter, safer, and more efficient. Although many general frameworks have been proposed for IoT enabled systems for industrial application, there is limited literature on demonstrations or testbeds of such systems. In addition, there is a lack of systematic study on the characteristics of IoT sensors and data analytics challenges associated with IoT sensor data. This study is an attempt to help fill this gap by exploring the characteristics of IoT vibration sensors and show how IoT sensors and big data analytics can be used to develop real time monitoring frameworks.
