Sistema ciber-físico baseado na integração PNRD e iPNRD utilizando Cloud Computing

Abstract

Industry’s increasing technological advances are converging on intelligent data acquisition and utilization. The fourth industrial revolution introduced several concepts in this context. Nowdays, the Internet of Things is being used to integrate cyber-physical systems and to gather and use massive amounts of data to customize and improve the means of production. As far as cyber-physical systems are concerned, equipment now has access to more powerful servers via the Ethernet connection, which provides them with high computational power and thus optimizes overall system performance. This work approaches the use of PNRD and iPNRD applied in Cloud Computing for the automatic planning of processes involving discrete event systems. The Block World classic problem will be used as an example, where a robotic arm equiped with a RFID reader will identify the arrangement of blocks and then, move them to a desired position and then, at the end, an analysis will be made of the performance of this project compared to another implemented using Edge Computing, where will be noted in which situations it is most advantageous to use the Cloude system and when it is safer to operate with Edge one.
