Q.2) Explain Collaboration productivity in Industry 4.0
Collaboration Productivity
There are four key parts, which enable collaboration productivity:
1. IT Proliferation
2. Single Source of Truth
3. Industrialization
4. Coordination
1. IT Proliferation:
1. It shows the huge impact of computers on economic growth and their
impact on increased capital stock's shares.
2. Industries are required to consider and promote global information
technology and computing power.
3. Storage capacity and high speed computing are increasing day by day.
2. Single Source of Truth
1. It is a kind of practice of formatting information models to store every
data element exactly once.
2. SSOT must employ the right software for decision making
3. SSOT is needed to be realized across the whole product lifecycle, so that
even a single change in product associated information is visible.
3. Industrialization
1. It is the bridge between the virtual world and the physical environment.
2. Physical environment is linked with the virtual world using CPS, which fix
computers and sensors into an application platform.
3. For dynamic objectives in technology and industrial area, it adapts the
system behaviour like smart factories.
4. Coordination:
➢ Stronger coordination between multiple industry agents is required in
Industry 4.0 for enabling collaboration productivity.
➢ It can be initiated in two steps:
1. First, establish a network which communicates with overall target
2. Second, provide authority to decision-makers in a decentralized
system.
➢ This network is maintained by encouraging the exchange of the
employees or by using smart devices
Challenges:
1. security and data privacy
2. lack of interoperability.
3. Increased complexity.
4. Increased cost
IIoT reference architecture:
1. IIoT reference architecture is governed by the Industrial Internet
Reference Architecture (IIRA)
2. IIRA - Industrial Internet Reference Architecture is the architectural
standard, that is used for most of these IIoT applications in these
industries. So, it is a standard based architecture
3. Safety is the major concern in the IIRA infrastructure, and is to be
followed by security.
IIRA-Architecture Patterns:
Different IIoT architecture implementation patterns are as follows:
1. Three-tier architecture pattern:
we have three different layers we have the edge layer, the platform layer
and the enterprise layer.
1. edge layer: which gathers data from the edge nodes
2. Platform layer: basically, it is concerning receiving, processing, and
forwarding control commands from the enterprise layer to the
edge layer.
3. enterprise layer: concerns receiving data flows from the edge
layer and the platform layer.
