IoT integration on industrial environments

Internet of Things (IoT) devices in industrial environments can be a significant increase in the network load of the local IP backbone, involving the network performance. To deal with the important amount of network traffic generated by the IoT devices, this paper proposes the use of IoT gateways in industrial environments (but not limited to) that unifies the data structures improving the size efficiency, and filters the data to be send across the shared IP backbone. To implement this solution some data structures and a multidimensional deadband scheme are presented. Simulations are performed using Networked Control Systems as IoT devices to show the feasibility of the proposed solution.
