Abstract:
Fifth-generation (5G) sensor networks are critical enablers of Industry 4.0, facilitating real-time monitoring and control of industrial processes. However, significant challenges to their deployment in industrial settings remain, such as a lack of support for interoperability and manageability with existing industrial applications and the specialized technical expertise required for the management of private 5G sensor networks. This research proposes a solution to achieve interoperability between private 5G sensor networks and industrial applications by mapping Yet Another Next Generation (YANG) models to Open Platform Communication Unified Architecture (OPC UA) models. An OPC UA pyang plugin, developed to convert YANG models into OPC UA design model files, has been made available on GitHub for open access. The key finding of this research is that the proposed solution enables seamless interoperability without requiring modifications to the private 5G sensor network components, thus enhancing the efficiency and reliability of industrial automation systems. By leveraging existing industrial applications, the management and monitoring of private 5G networks are streamlined. Unlike prior studies that explored OPC UA's integration with other protocols, this work is the first to focus on the YANG-OPC UA integration, filling a critical gap in Industry 4.0 enablement research.
