Cloud Operating System for Industrial Application

With the rapid development of latest information technology, it is inevitable to apply IoT (Internet of Things), cloud computing and big data into the industrial fields of national key sectors including transportation, electricity, metallurgy, petroleum, chemical, manufacturing, military and so on. Wireless sensor network, industrial Internet, embedded system, software for industrial control and management, and smart terminal are gradually introduced into the industrial systems, which would make the past relatively closed industrial systems more open and intelligent, and contribute to the coming forth industrial revolution. In this paper, the authors mainly discuss issues about cloud Operating System (OS) for industrial application, including cloud computing and cloud operating system introduction, current status analysis of cloud OS and the transformation trend to industrial 4.0. Then, we independently design the main content of this cloud OS, and its application prospect and expected result are given. The study provides theoretical guidance and practical challenge for the development of cloud OS oriented to industrial area.
