IoT vs Industrie 4.0
What’s common – what’s different

ThyssenKrupp connected their elevators
to Microsoft Azure
Collect data from it’s sensors and systems
to improve operations
Goal: predictive and preemptive
maintenance
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/server-cloud/customer-stories/Thyssen-Krupp-Elevator.aspx

IoT: Simplified message:
 IT companies provide agents for all platforms
 Mostely to push data into their own cloud
“IoT starts with data in their cloud”
 Cloud offers “new business with analytics”
Required:
 “Just” data transport
no semantic
 Security

Industry 4.0: Simplified message:
 Focus on factory & process automation
 Devices become more intelligent
 Communication “Service to Service”
 Cloud is an option as one service
Requirements are higher
 Horizontal and vertical
 “Ad-hoc” discovery of services
 Modeling: Information Model
 Scalable: From sensor to the cloud
 Operating system and language independent
 Secure: authentication, signing, encryption
 International: IEC Standard

Cost saving effects
 Transmission of complex data structures -> there’s no configuration
of every single datapoint required
 Replacement of a proprietary solution with a combined OPC-UA
client/server. Standardization of data communication reduces
interfaces, just the OPC-UA client and server.
 A physical interruption of the connection does not lead to a loss of
information -> automatically buffered in the OPC-UA server for a
time and can be retrieved as soon as the connection has been
restored
 Using security mechanisms like authentication, signing and
encryption integrated in OPC-UA in addition to a closed mobile radio
group to ensure the integrity of the confidential data
 “The solution provided us with a saving on the initial licensing
costs of more than 90 % per device.”

Decentral measurement (optional local buffering of data),
pushing into central databases for analytics
and deploying results

OPC-UA: Schlüssel für Industrie 4.0Today: Top down information flow
Direction “How”:
 Today: Top down of information flow:
 upper level: always initiates communication (as client)
 lower level: answers (as server)
 Next: OPC-UA client & server integrated into smallest device
 Network of intelligent systems
Content “What”:
 Today: Multiple converters:
From “electrical signal”
-> via data -> via functions
-> to service”
 Next: Service to service

 Getting Started

The industrial marketplace seeks complete
infrastructure and standards that are an
interoperability enabler for both Industrie 4.0 and the
Industrial Internet of Things(IIoT)”, according to Craig
Resnick, Vice President, ARC Advisory Group. “To
address this market demand, the OPC Foundation has
designed its OPC UA plant floor to enterprise
communications standard for connecting devices and
machines to leverage both Industrie 4.0 and IIoT for
providing interoperability, secured services and data
ranging from sensors to the cloud. ARC recommends
that end users/manufacturers, machine
builders/OEMs, system integrators and manufacturers
of automation devices learn more about this capability
by attending a free regional educational seminar
regarding OPC UA as an enabler for both Industrie 4.0
and IIoT.”
