With the expansion of Industry 4.0 and the increasing need for intelligent industrial automation, the use of new architectures such as Cloud-Fog Automation has become particularly important. This approach combines the power of cloud processing (Cloud) and proximity to the data source (Fog) to help industries make faster and more reliable decisions.
What is Cloud-Fog Automation?
Cloud-Fog Automation is a model in which data from sensors and industrial devices is processed in a layer closer to the data source (Fog Layer) instead of being sent completely to a cloud server. This reduces latency and increases reliability.
Benefits of Cloud-Fog in Industries
Reducing Data Processing Costs
Improving Cybersecurity in Sensitive Industries
Increasing Productivity in Production Lines
Real-time Automation Possibility
Real-time Applications in Industry
Smart Factories: Real-time Monitoring of Machinery and Reducing Production Stoppages.
Smart Cities: Intelligent Traffic and Energy Management.
Oil and Gas Industries: Increasing Safety and Reducing Accidents with Online Monitoring.
Challenges and Future
Need for International Standardization
Cybersecurity and Data Protection
Initial Implementation Costs
But the future shows that Cloud-Fog Automation will become one of the main pillars of Industry 5.0.
