Data Integration from Heterogeneous Control Levels for the Purposes of Analysis within Industry 4.0 Concept.

Small- and medium-sized manufacturing companies must adapt their production processes more quickly. The speed with which enterprises can apply a change in the context of data integration and historicization affects their business. This article presents the possibilities of implementing the integration of control processes using modern technologies that will enable the adaptation of production lines.

Proposal for an IIoT Device Solution According to Industry 4.0 Concept.

Today, Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) devices are very often used to collect manufacturing process data. The integration of industrial data is increasingly being promoted by the Open Platform Communications United Architecture (OPC UA). However, available IIoT devices are limited by the features they provide; therefore, we decided to design an IIoT device taking advantage of the benefits arising from OPC UA.
