The most relevant components that manage the flow of industrial data in the cloud are the following:
- IoT Hub: This is the dispatcher of data and the manager of devices. It checks security and dispatches data to the right data processors (storage, analytics, or queue). Normally, it is implemented with a multi-protocol gateway, such as AMQP, HTTPS, or MQTTS, and a message broker.
- Time Series Database (TSDB): This is the centralized database in which events and data points acquired from sensors are stored.
- Analytics: These work with data to extract anomalies, the machine's health, the efficiency, or generic key performance indicator (KPI). Analytics can work either in stream mode or in micro-batch processing ...
