This paper presents a solution for upgrading a previous device model to an Industry 4.0 smart device, with the goal of maintaining high compatibility. A novel IoT architecture is presented that satisfies the characteristics of a smart device. We analysed existing IoT architectures and proposed a new architecture to achieve long-term security and usability. To ensure long-term security, we eliminated the possibility of device configuration outside the immediate vicinity of the device with a dedicated protocol. The security concepts of the existing architectures were also analysed and further modified. To improve compatibility with previous device models, we propose a new method to collect data from sensors by introducing a multithreaded microcontroller. We propose additional software components to ensure factory programming, maintenance, and cloud Big Data analysis. Based on our experiments, we adapted the algorithm to increase the accuracy of the temperature and flow sensors by using a temperature calibration device and known flow cycles. Measurement results are presented to confirm the successful upgrade. We designed a hardware architecture to ensure compatibility with previous and future device models. Issues with previous sensors encountered during the upgrade were discussed and resolved. A novel software architecture based on security for long-term IoT devices is proposed.
