On the adequacy of SDN and TSN for Industry 4.0
Ref: CISTER-TR-190402 Publication Date: 7 to 9, May, 2019Abstract:
Industry 4.0, Industrial Internet of Things, Cyber-
Physical Production Systems and Smart Factories are closely
related emerging concepts expected to drive significant improvements
in industrial production systems, with gains in efficiency,
cost and customer satisfaction. These concepts are intimately
associated with highly distributed and cooperative architectures
that rely, naturally, on the network infrastructure. However,
traditional industrial communication technologies hardly provide
the required level of integration, flexibility and performance.
Seeking a solution to this mismatch, we assess two technologies
that appeared recently in the industrial realm, namely IEEE
802.1 Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) and Software-Defined
Networking (SDN). TSN and SDN are fundamentally different,
thus having distinct strengths and weaknesses. This paper reviews
their fundamental operation principles, evaluating them
qualitatively against the specific requirements posed by Industry
4.0.
