Summary

InfluxDB is designed to handle the variety, volume, and velocity of IoT data, making it a key component in IIoT use cases such as predictive maintenance, optimized traffic routing, and enhanced water conservation. The platform includes powerful dashboarding tools for visualizing and analyzing sensor data, new capabilities to store IoT data at the edge, process and analyze that data locally, and push raw, aggregated, and otherwise actionable data to a network of InfluxDB hubs in the datacenter or cloud. These updates aim to expedite the development of IoT and IIoT solutions and enable accelerated insights for engineers working with industrial data at the edge. Additionally, InfluxDB has expanded its support for MQTT brokers, improved its flexibility for resource-constrained edge devices, and connected with a growing ecosystem of IIoT partners, including leading Industrial and IoT platforms and middleware software. The platform is used by several prominent organizations, such as Tesla and Rolls-Royce Power Systems, to collect and analyze industrial sensor data, and offers commercial relationships with organizations in the Industrial, Enterprise, and Consumer categories of the Internet of Things.
