In smart factories and smart homes, devices such as smart sensors are connected to the Internet. Independent of the context in which such a smart sensor is deployed, the possibility to change its configuration parameters in a secure way is essential. Existing solutions do provide only minimal security or do not allow to transfer arbitrary configuration data. In this paper, we present an NFC- and QR-code...
Global competition exhibits a strong pressure on organizations to optimize production processes and increase production flexibility. For example, to improve maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) processes of industrial equipment, an Internet-based data exchange system and backend workflow processing is required. Thereby an equipment vendor gathers field intelligence from equipment on customer premises...
Authentic and confidential, but at the same time traceable and transparent, data exchange among multiple stakeholders is a key challenge in Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) applications. Specifically, smart service connectivity requires the secure and transparent acquisition of equipment status information, which we call snapshots, from globally distributed equipment instances at customer sites...
The transition from product-centric to service-centric business models presents a major challenge to industrial automation and manufacturing systems. This transition increases Machine-to-Machine connectivity among industrial devices, industrial controls systems, and factory floor devices. While initiatives like Industry 4.0 or the Industrial Internet Consortium motivate this transition, the emergence...
Increasing the efficiency of production and manufacturing processes is a key goal of initiatives like Industry 4.0. Within the context of the European research project ARROWHEAD, we enable and secure smart maintenance services. An overall goal is to proactively predict and optimize the Maintenance, Repair and Operations (MRO) processes carried out by a device maintainer, for industrial devices deployed...
The advent of initiatives like Industry 4.0 promises increased operational efficiency through smart services and interconnected devices. To enable smart maintenance services for today's and future industrial equipment, regular status information must be transmitted from device customers to maintenance service providers over the Internet. However, simply attaching an industrial device to the Internet...
