AdeloNEO Industrial IoT Platform: A Hierarchical Sensor Management Framework for Edge Computing

Field monitoring with IoT sensors is now widely used in various industries because of the development of Industrial 4.0 and data-driven manufacturing, which brings some management challenges such as sensors in various locations and sensor movement. To facilitate the managing of industrial IoT systems in multi-region deployments, particularly hybrid cloud deployments, the AdeloNEO IIoT Platform has been designed and implemented to provide a hierarchical sensor management framework for such application scenarios. We propose a cross-cloud solution based on unified certificate and ID management while supporting the deployment of edge-based computing nodes that can facilitate the implementation of IoT systems and the system enables sensors to move freely within the system.
