Why Use Open Source for Industrial IoT
The industrial world has a long history of modernizing its process controls to achieve efficiency and safety while minimizing downtime. Yet many are locked in established data historian solutions that are costly and lack the methods needed to provide innovation and interoperability. In contrast, open source software provides diverse design perspectives, freedom from vendor lock-ins and customization, allowing you to adapt the code to fit ever-changing system requirements.
In this technical paper, we will examine what existing solutions lack and review a few open source projects that should be considered for future success for operators.
