Demo: How to Run InfluxDB 3 at the Edge with FactoryTalk Optix

Session Date: Feb 10, 2026
Time: 8:00am (PT) | 4:00pm (GMT)

Industrial edge environments generate large volumes of time series data that must be collected, queried, and visualized close to machines. In this webinar, InfluxData and Risoul discuss how InfluxDB 3 fits into modern industrial edge architectures alongside Rockwell Automation tooling and Grafana.

The session covers common deployment patterns used by machine builders and system integrators, including containerized setups with Docker and integration with OptixEdge, Rockwell Automation’s SCADA-focused edge platform. The discussion highlights how InfluxDB 3 supports SQL-based querying and flexible deployment models, and why it is well-suited for edge scenarios where simplicity and reliability are critical.

Key takeaways:

• Where InfluxDB 3 fits in industrial edge architectures
• How Risoul integrates InfluxDB with Rockwell Automation and Optics Edge
• Common deployment patterns using Docker and Grafana
• Querying time series data with SQL at the edge
• Design considerations for machine builders and system integrators
