Summary

The United Manufacturing Hub is an open-source Helm chart for Kubernetes that combines state-of-the-art IT/OT tools and technologies to bring them into the hands of engineers, standardizing the IT/OT infrastructure across customers and making it easy to integrate and maintain. The team uses TimescaleDB to store both relational and time-series data coming from MQTT and Kafka, and visualizes it using Grafana and their own REST API. This allows them to prevent and predict maintenance issues, analyze and optimize production losses, reduce resource consumption, and more. The use of TimescaleDB provides reliability, fault tolerance, and ease of horizontal scaling, making it an ideal choice for manufacturing data management.
