Data plays a critical role in shaping operational decisions. From sensor streams in factories to API response times in cloud environments, organizations rely on time-stamped metrics to understand what’s happening and determine what to do next. But when that data is inaccurate or incomplete, systems make the wrong call. Teams waste time chasing false alerts, […]

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, SCADA systems, and other connected devices. Known as time series data, this information reflects how conditions change over time, tracking […]

An industry conversation with Pugal Janakiraman, Global Manufacturing CTO at Snowflake, and Evan Kaplan, CEO of InfluxData. Manufacturing’s Data Mindset Is ChangingManufacturers have long relied on data to understand what went wrong—after the fact. When a production line stalled, or equipment failed, teams scrambled to gather scattered information to trace the root cause. That reactive model […]

OEE (overall equipment effectiveness) is a productivity and performance metric that helps find new inefficiencies and unlock the full potential of manufacturing. OEE helps manufacturers understand how well a machine, a manufacturing process, or a line is running, as well as its yield and efficiency. By improving OEE scores, organizations can optimize productivity, improve efficiency […]

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is transforming modern manufacturing by enabling connected, data-driven processes that improve efficiency, reduce downtime, and enhance decision-making. Manufacturers increasingly rely on IIoT to optimize production, but proving its return on investment (ROI) remains a significant challenge. Due to the complexities of implementation and measurement, many organizations struggle to quantify […]

The role of the data historian has changed a lot since the 1980s, and it’s time to rethink how it serves us. Industry 4.0 demands better integration between OT and IT systems, allowing teams to centralize data and extract real-time insights across the entire enterprise. But your average data historian is a roadblock. Monolithic, end-to-end […]

Industrial maintenance…a headache? Yes. Thief of time? Absolutely. Reputation killer? It has its moments! These are the results of relying on a reactive approach to industrial maintenance. Reacting when equipment failures occur repeatedly without warning leads to operational downtime, production delays, and unplanned expenses that come directly out of a company’s profit margins.It’s been a […]
