The industrial revolution was a watershed period in human history. The shift from piecemeal, cottage-industry work to mechanized manufacturing transformed the way humans work.

These sensors are the basis for the industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and record critical data about how industrial machinery functions.

Industrial operators want greater observability into their machinery and processes, and time-series data provides the raw data for that.

The challenge here is that many factories and manufacturers use legacy data historians, the time-series databases common in Industry 3.0.
