InfluxData today announced accelerated momentum in Industrial Data and Internet of Things (IoT) driven by new customers, product enhancements and expanded industrial partnerships fueled by the growth of time series data. Customers including Tesla, Rolls Royce, Airbus, Teck, Graco and Graphite Energy are using InfluxDB to collect industrial data from devices and sensors.
One major challenge with decarbonization of industrial heat is converting the variability of renewable energy into the reliability required by process plants. Solar panels only generate energy when the sun is out, and wind turbines generate energy when the wind blows. Industry, however, has a consistent and persistent need for energy. Graphite Energy, based in Australia, recognized this disconnect and set out to create a solution to it.
Data – specifically time series data – continues to be the key ingredient for successful digital transformation. No matter the industry, time series data helps companies understand the activities and output of people, processes and technologies impacting their business. The effective management and use of time series data has emerged as the best path towards this goal.
