碩士 === 義守大學 === 資訊工程學系 === 105 === In recent years, with the rapid development in networks and embedded systems, Internet of Thing (IoT) is no longer just a concept and begins to make revolutions in various industries. Industrial Internet of Thing (IIoT) is a combination of IoT and industrial manufacturing. IIoT is acclaimed as the fourth generation of industrial revolution, and changes the traditional industrial production model in manufacturing. The infrastructure of the IIoT is divided into four parts: 1. The sensors for collecting the data and controlling the actuators, 2. The gateways for aggregating the data from the sensors and translating the protocols among sensors/actuators, 3. The factory connected via internet infrastructure, 4. The cloud servers for data storage and data analysis. With the contineous development in IIoT technologies, the multifunction gateway with networking capabilities has become a important key component in IIoT. In this thesis, the architecture of a smart IIoT gateway is proposed and its prototype is implemented in a Node-Red-based platform. Via the proposed smart gateway, the users who has only a little basic programming concept can easily set up the control logics to collect data, process data, and control devices. In addition, a set of RESTful APIs are also designed for third-party software to easily access the resources of the smart gateway.
