A novel idea to combine agent technology and cloud computing for monitoring a plant floor system is presented. Cloud infrastructure\nhas been leveraged as the main mechanism for hosting the data and processing needs of a modern industrial information\nsystem. The cloud offers unlimited storage and data processing in a near real-time fashion. This paper presents a software as-\na-service (SaaS) architecture for augmenting industrial plant-floor reporting capabilities. This reporting capability has been\narchitected using networked agents, worker roles, and scripts for building a scalable data pipeline and analytics system.
