We are getting the conversation about data infrastructure backwards. The chatter online is saturated with debates on cloud versus edge, the merits of one database over another, and the magical promise of AI algorithms. These are…
Industrial operations depend on data historians to record what’s happening on the line or in the field. But as systems evolve toward Industry 4.0, many teams find that their historians weren’t built for what’s next —…
Every predictive maintenance model, every digital twin simulation, and every real-time dashboard in a modern factory depends on one thing: trustworthy time series data. Yet bad data, whether caused by sensor drift, network gaps, or timestamp…
Learn how integrating a time series database with your historian helps industrial teams detect issues faster, act in real-time, and build predictive strategies that reduce downtime. Modern industrial systems continuously generate time-stamped data from sensors, PLCs,…
As manufacturers accelerate their digital transformation journeys, the limitations of fragmented data environments are becoming more visible—and more costly. The promise of smart manufacturing hinges on one capability: enabling data to move seamlessly from the factory…
Manufacturing plants generate enormous volumes of data every second, from vibration sensors on rotating equipment to temperature readings in chemical reactors and throughput counters on packaging lines. Yet the vast majority of this data is never…
For manufacturers, utilities, and other industrial operators, time series data—information captured over time from machines, sensors, and control systems—is the backbone of modern operations. But as data volumes grow, many organizations are still struggling to keep…
What does it take to make digital transformation stick—beyond pilots, platforms, and buzzwords? At Hannover Messe 2025, the conversation around industrial transformation reached a new level of clarity—and urgency. From AI and agentic automation to modular…
The factory of the future is not being built from the cloud down; it is being rebuilt from the edge up. In this article, IIoT World explores how modern edge data architectures are fundamentally changing manufacturing…
At Hannover Messe 2025, InfluxData CEO Evan Kaplan and HighByte CPO John Harrington discuss how manufacturers are shifting from data collection to data intelligence and what’s required to support that transformation. Below are the most important…
Achieving world-class Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is a top priority for manufacturers, yet most facilities operate well below the 85% benchmark that separates leaders from laggards. Predictive maintenance powered by the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)…
In today’s rapidly evolving industrial landscape, staying competitive means being smart with your operations — and smarter with your investments. Leading organizations are turning to the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to optimize processes, cut costs,…
