Cloud storage hub: Data management for IoT and industry 4.0 applications: Towards a consistent enterprise information management system

Abstract

Since computers are used in industry the idea of Enterprise Data Management (EDM) and Enterprise Information Systems (EIS) is a never-ending discussion. However, the concepts, techniques, and products are complex and companies failed to implement an Enterprise Information Management System that provides real-time and consistent data. This contribution presents an approach for data management in the new era of IoT, cloud, and Industry 4.0. This so-called Cloud Storage Hub (CSH) integrates different data sources, e.g. IoT devices, RDBMS, XML, cloud apps, through a mapping and rule system, so that a consolidated and consistent view on enterprise data is possible enabling management apps, e.g. for Analytics / BI, to access this data easily and convenient through a single API.
