Energy-Efficient Tactile-Driven Rule Configuration and Anomaly Detection in Industrial IoT Systems

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) enables communication among automation systems, machinery, and sensors in an industrial setting. To optimize critical industrial operations, a substantial volume of data concerning diverse in-factory activities and automation services is generated by IoT devices and sensors. This data is subsequently transferred to distant processing systems for analysis and decision-making. Nevertheless, a substantial latency in data transmission or any abnormality in the generated data may result in delayed or erroneous decisions, consequently impacting the efficacy of essential industrial systems. To address these challenges, we established an intelligent network architecture utilizing software-defined networking that achieves tactile latencies efficiently while handling industrial data traffic in an energy-efficient manner. To address the initial challenge, the suggested architecture utilizes the Self-Organized Maps approach to distinguish between industrial traffic requiring tactile latencies and non-tactile traffic. We utilize a binary tree-based flow table mapping method to enhance flow table matching and decrease lookup times. To address the second challenge, we employ the Support Vector Machine technique to identify anomalies in real-time industrial data traffic. The Hadoop system and Mininet emulator are utilized to evaluate the proposed architecture using the UNSW dataset. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the suggested solution in providing energy-efficient tactile assurances and identifying anomalies in traffic.
