Title
Fog-Enabled Industrial WSNs to Monitor Asynchronous Electric Motors
Abstract
Recently, Industrial Wireless Sensor Networks (IWSN) have gained a lot of interest from both research and industry communities as an evolution of WSN specifically tailored for Industry 4.0 applications and their requirements. Thanks to the set of benefits IWSN technology introduces, it is considered to be a sustainable solution for industrial system monitoring. Yet, this approach has several drawbacks stemming from the limited resources (i.e., compute and storage) available on-board network devices. Although Cloud-based WSN data management solutions are widely adopted, issues related to this approach persist (e.g., high latency, bandwidth consumption, storage costs). This paper introduces an innovative platform enhancing IWSN architectures by adding a processing layer at the network edge: an approach that follows the Fog Computing paradigm. Remote management and programmability of the Fog layer are only some of the most challenging requirements. We show how our approach is suitable for industrial scenarios by applying it to a representative use case, i.e., the monitoring of asynchronous electric motors.
