Solution Overview
Problem
Existing Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) systems face challenges in system function expansion and adjustment, particularly due to the heterogeneity of sensor data and the large number of sensors, which complicates data processing, transmission, and integration.
Innovation Solution
The proposed IIoT system incorporates a user platform, a service platform, a management platform, a sensor network platform, and an object platform, with independent and centralized layouts to facilitate function expansion and system adjustment. This includes independent databases, processors, and information channels for data storage, processing, and transmission, allowing for flexible configuration and communication protocols.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If a centralized layout is adopted for the management platform, then data processing and transmission efficiency is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides the management platform into multiple sub-platforms, each responsible for specific functions. This segmentation allows centralized processing capabilities to be distributed across multiple independent units, improving data processing efficiency while managing system complexity through modular architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
The service platform acts as an intermediary layer between the sensor network platform and the management platform. This intermediary structure simplifies the overall system by providing standardized interfaces and protocols, reducing the complexity of direct centralized management while maintaining processing efficiency.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple sub-platforms are introduced in the sensor network platform, then adaptability to heterogeneous sensor data is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The sensor network platform is divided into multiple sub-platforms, each dedicated to handling specific types of sensors or data protocols. This segmentation enables specialized processing for heterogeneous sensor data while keeping each sub-platform's complexity manageable through focused functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
Each sub-platform is designed with universal interfaces and standardized data formats that allow them to handle multiple sensor types. This multi-functionality approach enables adaptability to heterogeneous sensor data without requiring each sub-platform to be highly complex, as they can process various sensor inputs through common protocols.
3Power
If independent databases and processors are allocated to each platform, then data processing capability is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system allocates independent databases and processors to each platform and sub-platform, creating segmented data processing units. This segmentation enhances data processing capability by allowing parallel operations and specialized handling of different data types, while the modular independent units keep architectural complexity manageable through clear boundaries and interfaces.
