InfluxDB is a time series platform used by Olympus Controls to monitor and analyze sensor metrics from machines and production in their industrial manufacturing plants. The company uses InfluxDB to collect data on robot health, including motor health, to predict maintenance windows and reduce costs. Olympus Controls implemented a solution using Telit DeviceWISE edge platform, MQTT broker, Telegraf plugin, and InfluxDB to automate the monitoring of robots and factories. Nick Armenta, Automation Engineer at Olympus Controls, found InfluxDB easy to use due to its quick querying capabilities and visualization tool, which helped him visualize data in real-time and make predictions about maintenance needs. The company used MQTT broker for load balancing and scalability, and Nick overcame pushback from his organization by educating them on the benefits of using InfluxDB for predictive maintenance.
