Data architecture for IIoT

In order to ensure that we are handling data properly and are leveraging the six characteristics of data, we need to have a well-defined data strategy for IIoT solutions. The data strategy should address each layer in the flow of data across the solution. The following diagram captures the overall data architecture for IIoT solutions, followed by a description of each of the layers:

As shown in the preceding figure, it's important to think of the overall data architecture as split into separate layers that interact through interfaces. This is what will add scalability to the architecture, as you can scale each layer ...
