FastIoT -- A framework and holistic approach for rapid development of IIoT systems

TL;DR

FastIoT presents a comprehensive framework that streamlines the development of IIoT systems by structuring processes, standardizing project conventions, and simplifying integration through configurable build scripts.

Contribution

It introduces a holistic approach that organizes IIoT development into multiple projects with shared conventions and a unified build system, enhancing modularity and ease of integration.

Findings

Facilitates rapid IIoT system development

Simplifies code integration across projects

Enhances system decomposability

Abstract

While lots of research has been conducted on the architecture of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) systems, concepts of structuring their development processes are missing. Therefore, we propose a holistic approach supporting organizations in rapid development of IIoT systems. It includes the structuring of the development process into multiple projects sharing project conventions. Utilizing a single configurable build script for all projects, our goal is to make the integration of code from various projects into broader IIoT systems easy and the systems decomposable with minimal effort.
