IIoT solutions rely heavily on the use of advanced analytics on the data collected from the operational systems. This data is often merged with the data from the enterprise systems. Typically, the volume of data from the operation systems may far exceed the data from the latter source. Let's take an example of data from aircraft. According to Aviation Week, a modern generation aircraft can generate over one terabyte of data in a cross-country flight. Modern generation aircraft can have more than 1,000 sensors, including about 300 in the jet engine alone (http://aviationweek.com/connected-aerospace/internet-aircraft-things-industry-set-be-transformed).
This poses several kinds of challenges for the data and analytics design in the case of IIoT systems. Here are a few considerations:
- Storage of data: The sheer volume of data that can be generated by recording...
