This diploma thesis deals with the creation of a general communication interface between the smart product and process cells within test bed Barman. The aim is to create distributed production according to the Industry 4.0 concept, where each product manages it’s production itself. The first part deals with the analysis of test bed, where are discussed requirements and method of production. Then with the selection of a communication protocol that would meet Industry 4.0 and distributed control requirements. The result of the research was OPC UA communication protocol. Using this protocol, the product and the process cell will communicate with each other. I chose the appropriate implementation for the selected protocol to be used for creating communication modules of the product and the process cell. Production data will be stored in an RFID chip located in the product. Part of the work is devoted to creation this data structure, which contains the recipe as well as production state data. Creation of RFID reader is the work of another student, with whom I solved the method of data exchange between application of the reader and the communication module of the product. When creating a communication module of the process cell, I solved the design of an information model that describes the entire process cell, and the dynamic creation of nodes in the address space. I have mentioned a few examples of how I worked with a selected implementation of OPC UA and how I used it in both applications. I implemented decentralized search of another process cells in the local network. This feature was easy to implement with OPC UA, specifically with the LDS-ME service. I solved the control of production for the communication module of the product and method of communication with the process cell. And in the last part I deal with manual, which describes how to compile projects correctly, specifically on the Linux operating system, and I have described a way to test the whole solution together with the results.

Fallolyckor bland äldre är ett stort folkhälsoproblem. Således har det utvecklats en rad olika system för fjärrövervakning av äldre för att möjliggöra en tidig detekte- ring av fallolyckor. Majoriteten av de forskningar som hittills har gjorts inom fallo- lyckor har fokuserat på att utveckla nya mer framgångsrika algoritmer just för att identifiera fall från icke-fall. Trots det visar statistiken att dödsfall och skador orsa- kade av fallolyckor ökar för varje år i samband med den ökande andel äldre perso- ner i befolkningen. Detta examensarbete handlar om att förbättra nuvarande falldetekteringsanord- ningar genom att täcka de brister och tillgodose de behov som finns i nuvarande tekniker. De förbättringar som har kartlagts är att kunna ge en säkrare bedömning av patientens hälsa och kunna påkalla snabbare hjälpinsats när en fallolycka har inträffat. En annan förbättring är rörelsefriheten för äldre. De ska kunna befinna sig utomhus och ha möjlighet att utföra sina dagliga aktiviteter utan att vara be- gränsade av platspositionen. Sammanfattningsvis kan det konstateras att ett multisensorsystem i form av en prototyp har konstruerats för att täcka de brister som har kartlagts. Utöver att pro- totypen detekterar fall och kroppsrörelser med hjälp av en accelerometersensor innehåller den även en sensor för detektering av livstecken i from av EKG. Den in- nehåller dessutom cellulära och trådlösa nätverksanslutningar i form av GPRS och Wi-Fi för att möjliggöra rörelsefriheten hos äldre. Vidare innehåller prototypen en sensor för GPS som ger information om platsposition. / Accidental falls among the elderly is a major public health problem. As a result, a variety of systems have been developed for remote monitoring of the elderly to permit early detection of falls. The majority of the research that has been done so far in fall accidents has focused on developing new more successful algorithms spe- cifically to identify fall from non-fall. Although the statistics show that mortality and injuries caused by falls are increasing every year in conjunction with the in- creasing proportion of older people in the population. This thesis is about improving the current fall detection devices by covering the gaps and meet the needs of the current fall detection techniques. The improve- ments that have been identified is to provide a secure assessment of the patient's health and be able to call for aid more quickly when a fall occurs. Another im- provement is the mobility for the elderly to be outdoors and have the ability to per- form daily activities without being limited by the location position. In summary it can be said that a multisensor system in form of a prototype has been designed to cover the deficiencies and improvements that have been identi- fied. Apart from detection of falls and body movements through an accelerometer sensor the prototype does also include a sensor for detecting vital signs in form of ECG. It also supports cellular and wireless network communication in form of GPRS and Wi-Fi to enable freedom of movement for the elderly. Furthermore, the prototype includes a sensor for GPS that provides information about location position.

Background. Smart grid is a new technology that focuses on utilising renewable energyalongside the current infrastructure. It aims to contribute to a sustainable future by implementingIoT devices in the electrical grid to adjust electricity flow and increase energyefficiency. By combining the current infrastructure with information technology manysecurity questions arise.

The study aims to discover a preferable MQTT authentication methodadapted for Techinova’s infrastructure with their requirements in consideration.Methods. A literature review was performed to obtain fundamental authenticationmethods and to distinguish different security approaches. Experiments were executed ina test environment to gather detailed information to gain a deeper understanding anddiscover security vulnerabilities.Results. The results derive from three experiments comparing the selected authenticationoptions security flaws.Conclusions. The results suggests that implementing TLS contributes to a secure authenticationand communication between the IoT devices and the broker without delayingthe transmission. However, further research could obtain other relevant data eventuatingin different results.

This thesis deals with the design of a technological demonstrator for data collection in IoT environment. A study of available IoT technologies was made, consisting of a description of available sensors / actuators, data transmission and processing. At the same time, the key components of the demonstrator, the AWS IoT cloud service and the MQTT communication protocol, were described. Based on the IoT technology study, a representative set of technological demonstrator elements was designed. Its functionality has been experimentally verified using the ESP8266 and ESP32 WiFi modules using Mongoose-os firmware. The result is a demonstrator of IoT data collection designed for usage in an Smart House.

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the impact on latency and power consumption of certain usage environments for selected communication protocols that have been designed for resource constrained usage. The research questions in this thesis is based on the findings in Lindén report “A latency comparison of IoT protocols in MES” and seeks to answer the following: ”How does MQTT impact the latency and power consumption on a constrained device?” ”How does CoAP impact the latency and power consumption on a constrained device?” ”How does usage environment influence the latency for MQTT and CoAP?” This thesis only seeks to explore concepts and usage environments related to wireless sensor networks, internet of things and constrained devices. The experiments have been carried out on a ESP WROOM 32 Core board V2 applying MQTT and CoAP as the communication protocols. The overall research method used in this thesis is the experimental research design proposed by Wohlin et al. Experiments have been created to support or disprove hypotheses which are formulated to answer the research questions. The experiments were conducted in test environments, which mimic a real-life wireless sensor network environment. The process is thoroughly recorded to further increase the traceability of this thesis. This decision was made due to a comment Boyle et al. made about the problems with real-life experiments about the wireless communication-based research domain. Where Boyle et al. states that there is “insufficient knowledge” available for the research community. The MQTT related latency experiments showed that QoS level 0 had the lowest latency of all the QoS levels. However, the results also showed that QoS 1 and 2 almost had an identical latency. The CoAP related latency experiments did not indicate any obvious trends. The results from the power consumption related experiments were inconclusive since the data was incomplete. The usage environment related experiments yielded conclusive results. The data showed that there was a small variation in the latency impact across the various usage environments. Furthermore, the data suggest that CoAP and MQTT had lower latencies in a high signal strength environment compared to a lower signal strength environment. However, it is not clear if there were any unknown factors influencing the results.
