Today's industry is facing an increased need for implementing intelligent manufacturing solutions, capable of integrating existing machinery with new technologies. Current solutions do not provide support for analyzing vast amounts of data. Also, implementation of cloud architectures proved inappropriate for real-time or near real-time processing and control because of the network latency. Under these considerations, the new paradigm of fog computing provides promising characteristics enabling greater scalability, fast reaction time and increasing security through a local private processing cloud structure. This paper evaluates the integration capabilities between existing technologies with new devices for seamless integration of the fog computing paradigm and provides an architecture solution for this upgrade.
