The Internet of Things (IoT) provide the possibility to build dynamic industrial systems and applications to improve the quality of production in industrial areas. There are many Industrial IoT Gateways (IoTGWs) available on the market, all of which have different functionalities and properties. Here, the different properties of the IIoTGWs were explored, with the researcher’s as well as vendor’s perspective in mind. The most important properties were identified using research papers and technical data sheets, based on this, a model was created. The model showed the best two gateways available in the database. The results show that methods used can be applied in future research.

With the vigorous development of Internet of things, IoT gateways as the communication bridge of the whole IoT system has attracted more and more people’s attention. So the objective of this project is to measure and evaluate the performance of two kinds of IoT gateways including Arduino Uno and Vinnter IoT gateway. In order to reach this objective, the concrete implementation is to create a demonstrator via JAVA program to establish serial communication and measure the latency and throughput of respective IoT gateways. The measurement is implemented under a specific scenario which is to control the action of an actuator such as a LED connecting with IoT gateways via GPIO pins. Finally, the results will be presented via statistical data and line charts. Through analyzing the results, the performance of these two IoT gateways can be compared in terms of latency and throughput easily. Besides implementing the measurement in practice, this paper also involves the scientific research of many different industrial-level IoT gateways and their performance are compared on both hardware and software sides. Consequently, this thesis will show you the comparison of various IoT gateways both in theory and in practice.
