Sensors on factory floors, wind turbines, and connected vehicles produce readings every second, and Apache IoTDB is the time-series database built to store those readings and answer questions over them. Devices write through client sessions that tolerate out-of-order, delayed, and multi-frequency arrivals, so a gateway that reconnects after an outage can backfill history without corrupting the timeline. Series live in a device hierarchy you can browse like a directory tree, or in tables queried with standard SQL, common table expressions, set operations, and more than one hundred built-in aggregation and time-series functions. The TsFile columnar format shares one time column across aligned series and applies encodings designed for sensor data, which keeps high-frequency archives compact while Spark and Hadoop jobs read the same files directly for larger analysis. Pipe synchronization streams records or transfers whole TsFiles between edge sites and central clusters with path and device filtering, so plants keep collecting locally while headquarters queries a continuous copy. AINode brings forecasting, anomaly detection, and missing-value imputation into the database itself: register a model with SQL, then ask for predictions in the same query language instead of shipping measurements to a separate machine learning service. A low-memory Edge edition runs collection on constrained gateways, and clusters scale by adding DataNodes under ConfigNode coordination with automatic load balancing.

On the factory floor, the data already exists; it is just locked inside machines, PLCs, and protocols nobody on the analytics team speaks. StreamPipes unlocks it with guided adapters for OPC UA (including a web-based node browser), MQTT, Kafka, Pulsar, REST services, and industrial controllers, turning each source into a live stream in minutes. Domain experts then drag those streams into the pipeline editor, chain processors and sinks on a canvas, and watch connection validation check schema compatibility as they build, with live preview showing real values before anything is saved. Pipelines filter, enrich, aggregate, and route machine data, raise alerts, and write results to the built-in time-series data lake, where the data explorer charts history and spots trends. Finished pipelines run under an overview that starts, stops, and bulk-manages them, while detail views expose logs, metrics, status, and the pipeline as code. Live dashboards carry the same data to shop-floor screens and operations centers, organized around assets so a line, a cell, or a single machine becomes the navigation unit. Developers extend everything with custom adapters, processors, and sinks built on the Java SDK and deployed as microservices, or drive the platform from Python, Go, and Java clients.

Every physical device on your network gets a living digital counterpart in Eclipse Ditto: a Thing whose Features hold its current state, desired state, and properties, readable and writable through APIs even while the device itself is offline. Your application talks to the twin over a REST-like HTTP API for CRUD and search, over WebSocket for real-time bidirectional streams, or over Server-Sent Events for change notifications, and Ditto routes commands down the live channel to the actual device when it is connected. Devices and backends connect through managed Connections to MQTT, AMQP 1.0 and 0.9.1, Apache Kafka, and HTTP endpoints, with payload mapping that translates between device formats and Ditto Protocol JSON. Fine-grained Policies decide per subject and resource who may read a temperature, change a setpoint, or receive an event, including namespace-scoped entries and partial change notifications that only reveal fields a subscriber may see. Search across millions of twins uses an RQL query language with custom MongoDB indexes, and Web of Things integration generates Thing Descriptions scoped to each requester's permissions. The bundled Explorer UI lets operators browse Things, inspect Features, and time-travel a twin's state to any past revision or timestamp to see exactly what changed and when. OpenID Connect and basic authentication protect the gateway, and Prometheus metrics expose live entity counts per namespace.

Between the factory floor and the cloud sits a gateway that has to speak Modbus to a PLC, OPC-UA to a machine, and MQTT to your platform, and Eclipse Kura is the framework that runs that gateway as a managed, programmable container. Drivers encapsulate each field protocol and its settings, while Assets model the data channels of attached devices, giving every sensor and controller a uniform mirror that applications can read, write, and publish. Kura Wires turns edge logic into a diagram: drag an asset onto the canvas, wire it through timers, filters, and SQL-based aggregation, and publish the result to the cloud, installing extra components from the Eclipse Kura Marketplace when the palette runs short. Telemetry survives bad networks because the data service stores messages locally and forwards them when the connection returns, with publishing policies abstracting the underlying MQTT transport. Administrators manage the whole gateway from the web console: network interfaces, firewall, installed bundles, snapshots of the full configuration that can be exported and restored, and remote deployment and upgrade of applications through the cloud connection. Hardware services expose serial ports, USB, Bluetooth, GPS position, GPIO, I2C, and a watchdog that resets the system when a critical component stops reporting.
