Design and Application of Cloud-based Operation and Maintenance Platform for Industry 4.0

摘要

Industry 4.0 has high demands on the system performance, capacity, continuity and security and the traditional IT operations cannot meet the requirements any more. In order to adapt to the new requirements of Industry 4.0, this paper designs the cloud platform architecture for the IT operation and maintenance based on the DEVOPS principle with the new technologies of Cloud Computing, Big Data, Automation, Virtual Reality, RFID, OPC UA and ESB etc. The functions of the platform include achieving a rapid and automatic recovery after a system error, predicting failures and security situation, solving the accessing and processing problems of the heterogeneous equipment and systems involved in Industry 4.0 vertical integration, horizontal integration and end to end integration. The successful practice of the operation and maintenance platform solution in the enterprise proves it can meet the requirements of Industry 4.0 business and technologies, and greatly improve the efficiency of IT operations.
