ICICOS: Industrial Cyber Intelligent Control Operating System for Cloud and Edge Computing

We introduce ICICOS, a specific cloud and edge computing platform that provides industrial automation and artificial intelligence services. This platform is based on IEC61131-3 programming standard that used to replace traditional Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). As is known to all, PLC has been playing an important role during the years of industrial automation revolution, we call it the Third Industrial Revolution. But the limited computing power of this device is not able to support artificial intelligence well, which cannot support deep learning algorithms. While different variations and implementations of controllers have been created over the last decade, ICICOS focuses on virtualization technology of industrial automation. It brings many benefits, including: the standardized electrical programming language brings a lot of users; the backup redundancy of virtual technology enhances the stability of the system; the concentration of computing power makes it competent for reasoning and learning of artificial intelligence.
