Smart manufacturing is increasingly becoming the common goal of various national strategies. Smart interconnection is one of the most important issues for implementing smart manufacturing. However, current solutions are not tended to realize smart interconnection in dealing with heterogeneous equipment, quick configuration and implementation, and online service generation. To solve the issues, industrial Internet-of-Things hub (IIHub) is proposed, which consists of customized access module (CA-Module), access hub (A-Hub), and local service pool (LSP). A set of flexible CA-Modules can be configured or programed to connect heterogeneous physical manufacturing resources. Besides, the IIHub supports manufacturing services online generation based on the service encapsulation templates and also supports quick configuration and implementation for smart interconnection. Furthermore, related smart analysis and precise management have the potential to be achieved. Finally, a prototype is given to illustrate the functions of the proposed IIHub, and to show how IIHub realizes smart interconnection.

IIHub：基于网络物理系统的智能制造工业物联网中心

智能制造正日益成为各种国家战略的共同目标。智能互连是实施智能制造的最重要问题之一。但是，当前的解决方案在处理异构设备，快速配置和实施以及在线服务生成方面往往无法实现智能互连。为了解决该问题，提出了工业物联网中心（IIHub），该中心由定制的访问模块（CA-Module），访问中心（A-Hub）和本地服务池（LSP）组成。可以对一组灵活的CA模块进行配置或编程，以连接异构的物理制造资源。除了，IIHub支持基于服务封装模板的在线制造服务生成，还支持智能互连的快速配置和实施。此外，有可能实现相关的智能分析和精确管理。最后，给出了一个原型来说明所提出的IIHub的功能，并展示IIHub如何实现智能互连。
