Hands-On Industrial Internet of Things

By: Giacomo Veneri, Antonio Capasso

Overview of this book

We live in an era where advanced automation is used to achieve accurate results. To set up an automation environment, you need to first configure a network that can be accessed anywhere and by any device. This book is a practical guide that helps you discover the technologies and use cases for Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT). Hands-On Industrial Internet of Things takes you through the implementation of industrial processes and specialized control devices and protocols. You’ll study the process of identifying and connecting to different industrial data sources gathered from different sensors. Furthermore, you’ll be able to connect these sensors to cloud network, such as AWS IoT, Azure IoT, Google IoT, and OEM IoT platforms, and extract data from the cloud to your devices. As you progress through the chapters, you’ll gain hands-on experience in using open source Node-Red, Kafka, Cassandra, and Python. You will also learn how to develop streaming and batch-based Machine Learning algorithms. By the end of this book, you will have mastered the features of Industry 4.0 and be able to build stronger, faster, and more reliable IoT infrastructure in your Industry.

Storing time-series data on Apache Cassandra

In the previous sections, we learned how to work with an MQTT stream and Kafka to apply rule-based analytics. Now we want to store our data in a scalable and fault-tolerant database. We can use various NoSQL databases, such as HBase, Parquet, or Kudu, but for our platform we are going to use Apache Cassandra.

Apache Cassandra

Apache Cassandra is a decentralized NoSQL database that has a good level of scalability and high availability without compromising performance. Apache Cassandra supports thousands of nodes and different levels of replicas and consistency. It also has a high level of data sharding.

Apache Cassandra is organized as a ring of nodes. Each node takes care of a portion...
