Abstract

As the cloud environment has become more prevalent among large companies, small and medium-sized companies are also trying to utilize various technologies (IoT, blockchain, etc.) that use cloud services as a way to coexist with large companies. In this paper, a blockchain-based IoT information collection model is proposed to efficiently handle large volumes of IoT data produced by small businesses in order to improve information efficiency of SMEs. The proposed model allowe d small businesses to improve their production efficiency by independently creating groups of the same information so that data that could be generated at the endpoints of small businesses can be block-chained and forwarded to the data center for analysis. In addition, the proposed model's performance assessment was assumed to handle the production throughput of data processed in IoT for small and medium businesses, not large enterprises, so the link between large volumes of data processed in the proposed model could be maintained evenly. One of the biggest features of the proposed model is the ability to expand processes to efficiently control the information of prod ucts produced, as well as the productivity of small and medium enterprises.

클라우드 환경이 대기업을 중심으로 보편화되면서 중소기업에서도 대기업과 상생하기 위한 방안으로 클라우드 서비스를 이용한 다양한 기술들(IoT, 블록체인 등)을 활용하려고 하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 중소기업의 정보효율성을 향상시키기 위해서 중소기업에서 생산되는 대용량의 IIoT 데이터를 효율적으로 처리하기 위한 블록체인 기반의 IIoT 정보 수집 모델을 제안한다. 제안 모델은 중소기업의 엔드 포인트에서 발생할 수 있는 데이터를 블록체인으로 처리할 수 있도록 동일 정보의 그룹을 독립적으로 생성하여 데이터 센터에게 전달하여 분석할 수 있도록 하기 때문에 중소기업의 생산 효율성 향상시킬 수 있도록 하였다. 또한, 제안 모델의 성능평가는 대기업이 아닌 중소기업을 대상으로 IIoT에서 처리되는 데이터의 생산 처리량을 처리하도록 가정하였기 때문에, 제안 모델에서 처리되는 대용량의 데이터 간 연계를 균등하게 유지할 수 있도록 하였다. 제안 모델의 가장 큰 특징 하나는 중소기업의 생산성뿐만 아니라 생산 제품의 정보를 효율적으로 제어할 수 있도록 프로세스를 확장 가능하다.
