Industrial companies produce more machine data than ever before. Sensors, connected equipment, and automated systems generate terabytes of raw data every single day. Yet, most of this information never translates into measurable value. It either sits…
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 —…
As data continues to explode across industries and geographies, the conversation is shifting—from what can be done in the cloud to what must be done at the edge. And right in the middle of this shift…
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…
Proprietary data silos remain one of the largest barriers to scaling industrial process optimization across multi-vendor factory environments. Open data standards such as OPC UA, MQTT, and Sparkplug B offer a path forward by establishing common…
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…
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…
Running artificial intelligence models directly on edge devices inside factories, substations, and process plants is no longer experimental; it is becoming a competitive requirement. Embedded AI at the edge eliminates cloud roundtrip latency, keeps sensitive operational…
Hannover Messe 2025 is where manufacturers and industrial companies find practical solutions for real-world challenges. This year, InfluxData is bringing something different: an efficient, cost-effective way to handle industrial data in real time. Visit Hall 14, Booth H38, to…
Beyond Automation—A Partnership Between Digital Twins and People Digital twins are often heralded as the ultimate tool for automation and operational efficiency, but their true transformative power lies in how they empower people to make better decisions, solve…
Licensing is a big part of using Aveva’s industrial software. But, like many powerful systems, it can be confusing and expensive. In this post, we'll discuss the challenges of Aveva’s licensing model and why it can…
A new technical paper is now available, offering critical insights for industries seeking to modernize their data historians and improve overall operational efficiency. This paper explores the evolving role of data historians in the era of…
