Abstract

An industrial monitoring system is disclosed. In an embodiment it includes a device layer, a device driving layer, a data sharing layer, a data routing layer, a data scheduling layer, a service layer, and a presentation layer. The data sharing layer, the data routing layer, and the data scheduling layer are organized by using a non-relational database, or organized in a hybrid way by using the non-relational database and a relational database. The industrial monitoring system disclosed can implement processing such as real-time storage and sharing of a large amount of data, and data mining and retrieval.

Claims

1. An industrial monitoring system, comprising:

a device layer including at least two industrial devices;

a device driving layer including a plurality of driving modules, each of the plurality of driving modules being executed by a controller, and configured to control a corresponding industrial device of the at least two industrial devices, and collect data from the corresponding industrial device;

a data sharing layer including at least two distributed database nodes, each of the at least two distributed database nodes including a respective local server configured to receive data collected by at least one of the plurality of driving modules;

a data routing layer including at least one route addressing module, each of the at least one route addressing module being executed by a first regional server, and configured to route-address data from at least one of the at least two distributed database nodes according to an instruction of a data scheduling layer, and send the route-addressed data to the data scheduling layer;

the data scheduling layer including at least one data scheduling module, each of the at least one data scheduling module being executed by a second regional server, and configured to

instruct a corresponding route addressing module among the at least one route addressing module to extract the route-addressed data according to a data extraction request of a service layer, and send the extracted data to the service layer; and

the service layer including at least two service processing modules, each of the at least two service processing modules being executed by a centralized server,

and configured to

send the data extraction request to a data scheduling module of the at least one data scheduling module according to a service processing requirement of the service processing module,

perform corresponding service processing according to the extracted data sent by the data scheduling layer, and

provide a processing result of the corresponding service processing to a corresponding presentation module of a presentation layer according to a presentation requirement of the corresponding presentation module, wherein the data sharing layer, the data routing layer and the data scheduling layer are organized using a non-relational database, or are organized in a mixed fashion using a non-relational database and a relational database.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the service layer is realized using a domain-driven design and a service-oriented architecture model.

3. The system of claim 2, wherein processing in at least one layer of the data routing layer, the data scheduling layer or the service layer includes cloud processing.

4. The system of claim 1, further comprising:

the presentation layer including at least two presentation modules, each of the at least two presentation modules being executed by a client device, and configured to present the processing result of a corresponding service processing module of the at least two service processing modules.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the first regional server and the second regional server are the same server.
