Optimize Equipment with Data-Driven Analytics
We want machines in good working order, making products of superior quality. This isn’t news. But what is newsworthy is that routine maintenance can still lead to more downtime than necessary. Not all maintenance programs are created equally. Keeping capital equipment...
A Strategic Approach to Replacing Data Historians
Recently, I wrote an article discussing why industrial organizations should migrate from legacy data historians to modern, open source technologies. The reasons for such a migration remain valid; however, it dawned on me that such a heavy-handed approach is not always...
Optimize Industrial IoT Data with InfluxDB and AWS
The modern factory’s relationship with data is experiencing a major change. Data now shapes the future rather than only telling the story of the past. The language inside the factory sounds like higher Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) as the result of...

How Ekopak Manages Water Treatment Data with InfluxDB
A wide variety of industrial processes rely on water, and before it can be used, it needs to be treated to remove dissolved substances. Minerals have to be filtered out so they don’t form scales on equipment as water is heated...
Intro to OEE
Efficient manufacturing is important for saving companies time, money, and energy. Making decisions based on data can improve efficiency, but there’s a lot of data to sort through. Manufacturing equipment contains many sensors, especially in the IIoT space. Overall Equipment Effectiveness...
