Building smarter manufacturing systems with Bosch Rexroth and InfluxDB
As manufacturers embrace digital transformation, the need for real-time visibility into machines, processes, and performance has never been greater. Traditional monitoring systems and legacy data historians often struggle to keep pace with modern data demands. By combining Bosch Rexroth’s ctrlX Automation platform with InfluxDB, manufacturers gain a flexible, high-performance foundation for building next-generation monitoring systems—from the factory floor to the cloud.
This technical paper explores the core challenges of manufacturing monitoring and introduces how InfluxDB and Rexroth’s ctrlX CORE hardware and ctrlX OS can be deployed together to collect, store, and analyze time series data at every level of operations. Whether running at the edge on individual machines, aggregating data at the plant level, or scaling analytics to the cloud, this integrated approach empowers manufacturers with the speed, precision, and openness needed to drive smarter, more resilient production environments.
In this e-book, you will learn about:
- Challenges manufacturers face when trying to modernize their systems
- Benefits of creating advanced monitoring systems
- The Rexroth ctrlX platform
- How InfluxDB fits into the manufacturing industry
- How to use Rexroth and InfluxDB together for various use cases
