Summary

IoT World Today | IoT Sensing and the Importance of a Time-Series DatabaseBy Brian Buntz` In 2016, when a sinkhole opened up near the Ponte Vecchio bridge in Florence (Italy), authorities worried the famed structure could be at risk. This is when the IIoT company Worldsensing stepped in to enlist InfluxData's help to monitor the bridge. Worldsensing used wireless sensors to determine the bridge was safe, while using a time series database from InfluxData on the backend to look for anomalies in the sensor data. The use of a time-series database enabled the efficient analysis and storage of large amounts of IoT sensor data, allowing for early detection of any potential issues with the bridge's structural integrity.
