InfluxDB and PTC accelerate IIoT solution development
Discover how IoT developers use InfluxDB to collect sensor metrics to gain real-time insights into factories, machines, and industrial facilities.
With InfluxDB, you can ingest, query, store, and analyze all types of time series data – metrics, events, traces – in real-time with unbounded cardinality in a single platform.
Easily connect InfluxDB with PTC ThingWorx ecosystem to handle time series data at any scale, in any environments.
Why PTC ThingWorx and InfluxDB
- Monitoring, alerting, and notification applications for ThingWorx-connected devices and sensors
- IoT applications support millions of events per second, providing new business value around predictive maintenance and real-time alerting and control
- Real-time analytics applications that focus on streaming data and anomaly detection
PTC ThingWorx InfluxDB Connector
While PTC ThingWorx customers can build custom integrations with almost any database, InfluxDB is the only time series database natively integrated into ThingWorx out of the box.
The key benefits of using InfluxDB with PTC ThingWorx are:
- Ability to handle significant ingestion rates
- Perform real-time queries across large datasets in a non-blocking manner
- Downsampling and retention policies to reduce storage costs and optimize the engine
- Perform complex, time-bound queries to extract meaningful insights from the data
