Information and communication technologies are permeating all aspects of industrial and manufacturing systems, expediting the generation of large volumes of industrial data. This article surveys the recent literature on data management as it applies to networked industrial environments and identifies several open research challenges for the future. As a first step, we extract important data properties (volume, variety, traffic, criticality) and identify the corresponding data enabling technologies of diverse fundamental industrial use cases, based on practical applications. Secondly, we provide a detailed outline of recent industrial architectural designs with respect to their data management philosophy (data presence, data coordination, data computation) and the extent of their distributiveness. Then, we conduct a holistic survey of the recent literature from which we derive a taxonomy of the latest advances on industrial data enabling technologies and data centric services, spanning all the way from the field level deep in the physical deployments, up to the cloud and applications level. Finally, motivated by the rich conclusions of this critical analysis, we identify interesting open challenges for future research. The concepts presented in this article thematically cover the largest part of the industrial automation pyramid layers. Our approach is multidisciplinary, as the selected publications were drawn from two fields; the communications, networking and computation field as well as the industrial, manufacturing and automation field. The article can help the readers to deeply understand how data management is currently applied in networked industrial environments, and select interesting open research opportunities to pursue.

IETF 6TiSCH standard aims to create reliable, deterministic, and low-power networks by scheduling bandwidth resources in time and frequency domains. The main emphasis of 6TiSCH protocol is that it creates Internet of things (IoT) networks with a deterministic and controllable delay. However, many of its benefits are tied to the ability of the 6TiSCH scheduler to optimally distribute radio resources among wireless nodes which may not be possible when the number of frequency resources are limited and several other wireless technologies share the same frequency band (e.g., WiFi, Bluetooth and IEEE 802.15.4). Here the integration of a low-complexity directional antenna system with IETF 6TiSCH protocol is investigated with the aim of creating a 6TiSCH solution with higher spatial reuse. 6TiSCH nodes equipped with such smart directional antennas can schedule bandwidth resources not only in time and frequency domain but also in spatial (space) domain.

“…TSCH deploys a deterministic approach to avoid collisions by careful scheduling, which involves allocating a group of cells for interfering transmitters to avoid collisions while reducing contention. A number of centralized and distributed scheduling algorithms have been introduced as of date for TSCH [3]. Over-provisioning is a method used to cope with unreliable links in the schedule by reserving a few cells to allow a packet to be retransmitted.…”

MAC layer protocol design in a WSN is crucial due to the limitations on processing capacities and power of wireless sensors. The latest version of the IEEE 802.15.4, referenced to as IEEE 802.15.4e, was released by IEEE and outlines the mechanism of the Time Slotted Channel Hopping (TSCH). Hence, 6TiSCH working group has released a distributed algorithm for neighbour nodes to agree on a communication pattern driven by a minimal scheduling function. A slotframe contains a specific number of time slots, which are scheduled based on the application requirements and the routing topology. Sensors nodes use the schedule to determine when to transmit or to receive data. However, IEEE 802.15.4e TSCH does not address the specifics on planning time slot scheduling. In this paper, we propose a distributed Enhanced Minimal Scheduling Function (EMSF) based on the minimal scheduling function, which is compliant with 802.15.4e TSCH. In this vein, we introduce a distributed algorithm based on a Poisson process to predict the following schedule requirements. Consequently, the negotiation operations between pairs of nodes to agree about the schedule will be reduced. As a result, EMSF decreases the exchanged overhead, the end-to-end latency and the packet queue length significantly. Preliminary simulation results have confirmed that EMSF outperforms the 802.15.4e TSCH MSF scheduling algorithm.
