LDSE Summer School 2018 Summary

Industrial IoT through JavaScript language and Node.js run-time environment

15th to 19th of June 2018


Laboratory for Digital Systems and Electrical Engineering (LDSE) organized a 3 day summer school where students created an Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) based smart web store.

Participants built and integrated key components of a web based and environment-aware system using affordable hardware and open source software.

SYSTEM COMPONENTS

SUMMER SCHOOL WORKING MATERIALS

For easier understanding and participation in this summer school a handbook was compiled featuring the description of the basic concepts of the Industrial Internet of Things as well as the used technologies. The handbook includes tutorials on how to set up a working environment (a virtual machine), how to install and use Node.js platform and WebStorm development environment for JavaSCript programming and how to install and use Beckhoff TwinCAT software suite for PLC programming. Summer school project assignments are also included.

You can download the handbook from this LINK.


FUTURE WORK

The outcome of the summer school was satisfying as participants managed to built and integrate all the key components of the system and its main functionalities. System components were able to communicate among them in an independent and decentralized manner and exchange various important information.

However, many of the important functionalities are still missing. For a real decentralized system there should be more instances of the particular modules. There should be more stores offering products to customers, there should be more delivery companies offering their transportation services and there should be more warehouse facilities offering products storage. Furthermore, these instances should compete with others to get a "job" that they are requested to do. Based on various parameters the client will send / announce a request to all the instances of a particular module and then select the best offer. These functionality could, for example, be implemented using the blockchain technology.

We invite students interested in presented research area to come and tackle the problems of this new and exciting field. This could be in a form of a seminar or as a part of your batchelor, master or doctoral degree study.
