Data Aggregation
Consistent data via open standards
● OPC-UA - a communication protocol for industrial automation
○ Eclipse Milo is a Java implementation of OPC-UA stack,
including client and server
● MQTT - general purpose messaging protocol for IoT
○ Eclipse Paho provides MQTT client libraries (Java, C/C++,
JavaScript, Python, etc)
○ Eclipse Mosquitto provides MQTT broker
implementation

Production Performance Management Protocol (PPMP)
PPMP and Eclipse Unide
⇒ consistent data format for machine data

Data Aggregation
PLC Development
● Existing systems are often closed
and proprietary systems
● Difficult to create flexible
manufacturing processes with
existing PLC environments
● New standards allow for more open
and distributed development (IEC
61499)

Device Management
Remote update and configuration of devices
important for scalability and security.
OMA LightweightM2M (LWM2M) provides a device
management standard
Eclipse Leshan and Eclipse Wakaama implement
LWM2M

Device Management - Software
Update

Security
● Code signing for Edge computing
○ Eclipse Kura allows for code signing of deployed code
● Authentication of devices
○ Eclipse Hono and Eclipse Hawkbit provide device
authentication
● Access control
○ Eclipse Keti provides a framework for integration simple
access control

OS Stack for IoT Cloud Platform
An Integration Platform for IoT Services
Data Management and Analysis
- NoSQL Store
- Integration with Cloudera and others
● Microservice approach for IoT services
● Well defined REST API
● Allows for easier integration of other services

Digital Twin
Eclipse Ditto: Device-as-a-Service
- A unified resource-based API that can be used to
interact with devices
- Abstracting from the complexity of different device
types and how devices are connected
- State management for physical devices
- Device and sensor properties like temperature,
location, level, fault information, etc.
Configuration properties of sensors and actors like
thresholds, intervals, ranges, toggles and limits, etc

Industry 4.0 Testbed
Problem Statement
●Industrial equipment deployed on factory floors
today use a wide variety of protocols that allows
them to be controlled and expose their condition
●It makes it hard to process production
performance data in an efficient way, and virtually
impossible to implement Industry 4.0 practices
such as predictive maintenance.

Proposed solution
PPMP*

* PPMP = Production Performance Management Protocol

Maintenance
Bridge heterogenous
systems (Modbus, OPC-UA,
…) to a common data model
Expose consolidated
performance data over
standard APIs for integration
with 3rd party systems
