Presented by, Timo Klingenmeier, General Manager, inmation GmbH & Co. KG Industry 4.0 and the Internet of Things translate to new opportunities and new challenges for manufacturing corporations. The informed workforce requires access to vast amounts of data. Handling floods of data from the production floor across the organisation and in exchange with selected business partners is not a simple task, but when achieved it turns into a major competitive advantage. MongoDB’s strategic partner inmation has developed a middleware solution which combines intelligent industrial real-time connectivity with unlimited scalability and one uniform storage layer for all kinds of data structures – MongoDB.

Sample Storage: Each (sub-second accurate)
measurement is stored as a “Micro-Document”
o
ObjectId points into another
collection which stores the
context information for this item
(e.g. measurement).
c
This is the distinct counter
relative to the value updates
which were received from the
external data source.
v
A value submitted by an external
(OPC) server, in whatever format.
q
The external quality (bit mask).
t
The original timestamp taken from
the external server.
h
The timestamp of the historization
process (and machine).

Summary
MongoDB is the perfect fit for Industrial Big Data
• It has the performance and the scalability options
required to store hi-freq data in huge amounts
• Timestamp accuracy is sufficient
• Schema (-less) flexibility fits the variant data structures,
originated in (OPC) source systems
• BSON is not only about storage, but also transport
• Unbeatable value offer (both software and hardware
utilization)
• It exposes ‘natural’ data structures which simplify any
kind of further analysis
• Choose between private and public cloud storage
