Server-Edge dualized closed-loop data analytics system for cyber-physical system application

摘要

In this research, we propose a system architecture of the server-edge dualized closed-loop data analytics system for cyber-physical system (CPS) application. We define six essential components for the data analytics system for CPS application: (1) the cyber model, (2) the data analytics module, (3) the data analysis model execution module, (4) the decision making module, (5) the system control module, and (6) the visualization module. We then propose an architecture of dualized closed-loop data analytics with server and edge-computing devices. The proposed dualized architecture of the data analytics system has advantages in handling the three issues of applying data analytics systems to the manufacturing context: (1) the system overload issue of the data analytics module due to large volumes of data, (2) the automation issue in the sequences of data analysis model generation, data analysis module execution, and system control, and (3) the real-time issue of data analysis model execution. In particular, a PMML-based data analysis model information parsing structure is proposed to deal with the automation issue. A case study that applies the proposed server-edge dualized closed-loop data analytics system for CPS application to the die-casting factory in Korea is introduced.
