Challenges facing the industrial implementation of Fog Computing

Recently, the industries converge to the integration
of the industry 4.0 paradigm to keep responding to the variable
market demands. This integration is realized by the adoption
of several components of the industry 4.0 such as IoT, Big
Data and Cloud Computing, etc. Several difficulties concerning
the integration of data management were encountered during
first level of Industry 4.0 integration because of the unexpected
quantity of data generated by IoT devices. The Fog computing
can be considered as a new component of Industry 4.0 to resolve this kind of problem. However its implementation in the industrial field faces several challenges from different natures. This paper explains the role of Fog Computing solution to enhance the Cloud layer (distribution, low latency, real-time,. . . ) and studies its ability to be implemented in manufacturing systems.
The Fog Manufacturing is introduced as the new industrial
Fog vision. The challenges preventing the Fog Manufacturing
implementation are studied and the links between each other
are justified. A future use case is described to carry out the
solutions given to satisfy the Fog Manufacturing challenges.
