University Enterprise Systems: IoT Integration Article Review

This report is an article review focusing on the integration of IoT with enterprise systems, prepared as an e-portfolio for a Business Analyst. The report analyzes three key papers. The first paper explores IoT integration for adaptive manufacturing, highlighting challenges and proposing a system architecture for data aggregation and automated responses. The second paper investigates the impact of IoT on modern manufacturing enterprise systems, examining IT infrastructure and its role in decision-making. The third paper examines an IoT-based network management system for enterprise networks, focusing on automated NOCs to improve efficiency. The review covers the integration, asset, information, and communication layers of the RAMI4.0 architecture. The analysis also examines the benefits of the proposed IoT systems and their implications for enterprise IT infrastructure, decision-making, and network management.

1IoT INTEGRATION WITH ENTERPRISE SYSTEMS
Paper 1: IoT integration for adaptive Manufacturing
The paper “IoT integration for adaptive Manufacturing” by “Christos Alexakos, Christos
Anagnostopoulos, Apostolos Fournaris, Christos Koulamas, Athanasios Kalogeras” is associated
with discussing about the Industrial Internet of Things which has seen to have emerged as a
particular concept associated with integrating the Internet of things with the industrial domain.
The paper has also been associated with putting forward of the potential challenges which are
faced along with emphasizing upon the interoperability and the integration of the aspects in the
Shop floors and Plant layer systems.This paper is associated with putting forward of a complex
systematic architecture which is seen to be associated with allowing the aggregation of the data
which are generated by the industrial Internet of things along with the automated reactions that
the manufacturing environments are having which is associated with either including the
detection and diagnosis or is including the prediction of events depending upon the data.
The paper is associated with highlighting the potential challenges which mainly includes
the fact that the integration of the IIOT in the manufacturing is an expensive process and requires
a huge amount of investment. The entire paper can be stated to have presented a novel approach
for the IoT integration with the manufacturing processes. The complex system proposed in this
paper is capable of gathering the information in an efficient manner from the IoT devices along
with having the capability of responding automatically whenever an event is detected. In addition
to this the work presented is also associated with dealing with the integration, Asset, information
and the communication layer of the RAMI4.0 architecture axis, along with providing of
interfaces for the layers present at the upper side.

Paper 2: Internet of Things for Enterprise Systems of Modern Manufacturing
The paper “Internet of Things for Enterprise Systems of Modern Manufacturing” by “Zhuming
Bi, Li Da Xu and Chengen Wang” is associated with discussing about the fact that
the design and the operations of the manufacturing enterprises are associated with
involving numerous types of decision making at the different levels and in domains
as well. The main objective of this paper is associated with including an
investigation of the impact of the emerging Internet of things technology upon the
enterprise system in the modern day manufacturing processes. The recent
advances of the IT have also been overviewed in this paper which are mainly seen
to be associated with the manufacturing paradigms of the next generation. The
paper is also associated with exploring the relation of the IT infrastructure with the
enterprise systems for the purpose of identifying the technological gaps existing in
the process of adaptation of the IoT as an IT infrastructure of the enterprise
systems.
The paper has also been associated with finding out the fact the emerging IoT
infrastructure is capable of providing support to the information system of the next
generation manufacturing enterprises in an effective manner. Besides this the
paper also highlights the fact that the ubiquitous computing is effectively associated
with supporting the mutual interactions which exists amongst the humans and the
things in a seamless manner and along with this the cloud computing is associated
with the utilization of the superpower computing resources for the purpose of
solving the complicated problems faced during decision making occurring at any
level and disciplines.

Paper 3: The IoT based Network Management System for Enterprise Network
The considered article is based on an IoT based management system for Enterprise
Network. The article focuses in increasing the human resources that is put in work in single NOC
(Network Operations Centre) to multiple NOC. The proposed work in the article has an intention
to provide assistance to the network administrator in the functionalities in networking zone. The
paper started with defining Network Operation Centre as the control center of the network from
where the administrator monitors every action by/on it. To overcome the situation the author did
suggest a few alternatives along with UPS network interface cards but as it too costly hence its
implementation is thought to be altered with the help of the construction of an automated NOC
which will facilitate the NOC to be remotely monitored. After this, the author presented a few
statistics regarding the internet connection worldwide. APCUPSD daemon has also been
presented with some reference tables where the real time GUI based output is shown. The
implementation method and the prototype implementation of the system has been described by
the author in detail in the paper. In the later part of the paper, author has given a flow chart
depicting the notification system of the entire automated system. The final section of the report
establishes the benefits of the proposed system after the implementation and got certain. The
report ends with a conclusion where the system is found to be enough beneficial with respect to
being in its early stage.
