Abstract:

The emerging blockchain technology and artificial intelligence(AI) show promising potential to enhance industrial systems and the Internet of things (IoT) by providing applications with redundancy, immutable storage, and encryption. In the past, few years, many more applications in industrial IoT (IIoT) have emerged and the blockchain technologies have attracted huge amounts of attention from both industrial and academic researchers. As a subset of the broader IoT, the IIoT dramatically changes the way industries work by interconnecting facilities and systems and creating new business models. However, despite the potentials mentioned earlier, the IIoT faces many challenges, including interoperability, devices security and privacy, silo mentality, standardization, etc. Moreover, the complicated IIoT system exposes industrial control systems (ICS), process control systems, and other operational technologies to potential cyberattacks, hacktivism, employment sabotage and other security risks. In IIoT systems, the IIoT platform plays a key role in delivering smart connected operations, connecting assets, and enabling IIoT with the following capabilities: connectivity, big data analytics, and application development. The IIoT features to build the intelligent smart ecosystems of IIoT solutions, while the blockchain can address the IIoT interoperability, reliability, and security challenges. Introducing blockchain into IIoT will enable industrial enterprises and manufacturers to register and verify their physical entities and services features in an irrefutable and decentralised network. From the viewpoint of IIoT developers, blockchain standardization will play a key role in shaping the future of technology. Blockchain standardization should be able to guide developers and users of blockchain technology. The AI and blockchain-enabled IIoT is still facing many challenges that must be addressed before it can be widely accepted and deployed in industries.
