Integration of Logic Controller with IoT to Form a Manufacturing Edge Computing Environment: A Premise

Communication latency and large amount of sensing data hinder the application of IoT in smart manufacturing when cloud computing is in association with the IoT applications. Recent concept of edge computing try to resolve the problem, because the edge of the network can handle the data locally and respond timely. Edge computing enables IoT automation in the manufacturing control. However, in reality, there is still a gap to transform from traditional hierarchical ISA-95 control architecture to IoT automation.
