Abstract:
Internet of Things (IoT) has become very popular due to its envisioned capability. Industry, Health care and Utility sectors are working actively to take advantage of the benefits that the IoT infrastructure can offer. However, it will take a long time until a completely developed IoT infrastructure is in place. Since this requires a large scale technology restructuring, many challenges need to be addressed. Certainly, IoT infrastructure development would happen step by step and it will be slowly accepted by the users, particularly from the industrial sector. In addition, some provision is also required to connect the existing automation system with the IoT infrastructure. In order to facilitate this connection, a bridging technology is required. In this paper, we describe how the industry proven OPC UA technology can be used for connecting the existing automation system with an IoT infrastructure. Furthermore, we also analyze the OPC Unified Architecture (OPC UA) security model from an IoT perspective and highlight the required improvements.
