Understanding our business use case

Our streaming scenario is based on IoT devices. IoT use cases have become increasingly common in organizations due to their transformative potential by allowing industries to fully understand what's happening with their operations in real-time. IoT sensors and devices help to do this by collecting data snapshots from various sources, allowing industries to monitor and optimize processes more effectively. For example, in manufacturing, IoT-enabled machinery can detect and report issues, reducing downtime and increasing production output. This efficiency improvement not only saves time and resources but also has a direct impact on the bottom line.

An example of this efficiency and cost reduction is predictive maintenance. By analyzing data from sensors embedded in equipment, companies can predict when machinery is likely to fail and schedule maintenance proactively. This proactive approach minimizes unplanned downtime, lowers maintenance costs...
