ABSTRACT: IoT technologies are being rapidly adopted
for manufacturing automation, remote machine diagnostics, prognostic health
management of industrial machines and supply chain management. A recent
on-demand model of manufacturing that is leveraging IoT technologies is called
Cloud-Based Manufacturing. We propose a Software-Defined Industrial Internet of
Things (SD-IIoT) platform for as a key enabler for cloud-manufacturing,
allowing flexible integration of legacy shop floor equipment into the platform.
SD-IIoT enables access to manufacturing resources and allows exchange of data
between industrial machines and cloud-based manufacturing applications.
