Transfer learning approach to reduce similar IOT sensor data for industrial applications
Abstract
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is a developing technology that has the potential to advance industrial intelligence, achieve targeted effectiveness, and lower manufacturing costs. Data fusion, a procedure that enables the collection, analysis, and processing of the enormous amounts of Internet of Things (IoT) information created by industrialized machinery and applications, is essential to IIoT's advancement and improvement of industrial products and applications. A real-time, efficient, and private information image fusion mechanism is required by the IIoT. Moreover, the current efforts call for such training of multiple systems in data analysis that also fall short of meeting real-time IIoT needs. The ineffectiveness of internal defenses and the challenge of finding the right balance between system stability and data confidentiality, however, undermine the efficiency and privacy preservation of a data fusion process. In this paper, we propose a Transfer learning-based Secure Data Fusion (TSDF) for the IIoT to address the aforementioned issues. In addition to the proposed network, we developed and deployed a defect estimation method that makes use of sensor data fusion to evaluate the manufacturing plant's operational state. The efficiency outcomes of evaluating the conceptual model are included in the original study, including a comparison to a conventional deep neural network structure. The study's findings demonstrate that TSDF may provide privacy, preserving information fusion in diverse IIoT application environments while reaching higher system capacity and low latency.
