Analysis of architectures implemented for IIoT

Several technological blocks are being developed to provide solutions to the requirements necessary for the implementation of industrial IoT. However, this is feasible with the resources offered by the Cloud, such as processing, applications and services. Despite this, there are negative aspects such as bandwidth, Internet service variability, latency, lack of filtering of junk data transmitted to the cloud and security. From another perspective, these situations emerge as challenges that are being studied to meet the needs of this new industrial era, which means that the important contribution of academia, companies and consortiums, are achieving a change of course, by taking advantage of the potential of the Cloud but now from the vicinity or perimeter of a production plant. To achieve this task, some pillars of IoT technology are being used as a basis, such as the designs of Fog Computing Platforms (FCP), Edge Computing (EC) and considering the need for cooperation between IT and operation technologies (IT and OT), with which it is intended to accelerate the paradigm shift that this situation has generated. The objective of this study is to show a systematic literature review (SLR) of recent studies on hierarchical and flat peer-to-peer (P2P) architectures implemented for manufacturing IIoT, analyzing those successes and weaknesses derived from them such as latency, security, computing methodologies, virtualization architectures, Fog Computing (FC) in Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), Quality of Service (QoS) and connectivity, with the aim of motivating possible research points when implementing IIoT with these new technologies.
