A Runnable Reference Architecture for Industrial IoT on InfluxDB 3

InfluxDB 3 introduces a comprehensive Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) reference architecture designed to address the challenges faced by industrial teams in managing high-frequency telemetry data. This open-source blueprint, which can be quickly deployed with Docker Compose, demonstrates how InfluxDB 3 can serve as a centralized system for factory-floor monitoring without relying on additional services. The architecture incorporates a Python-based simulator to generate IIoT telemetry and showcases the Processing Engine's capabilities, such as executing Python code in response to database events, accessing data with minimal latency through Last Value Cache, and efficiently handling high-cardinality queries with Distinct Value Cache. Additionally, the OPC UA Plugin enables direct connectivity to industrial systems, facilitating real-time data ingestion and processing within InfluxDB 3. This setup allows for seamless integration of contextualized data from edge sites to a centralized cluster for comprehensive analysis, while also providing the flexibility to extend the architecture for specific industrial applications, all under an Apache 2.0 license.
