Live digital twins need more than basic data connectors. Intelligent data pipelines offer real-time, multi-source input, edge processing, and smart routing for faster and more accurate insights than legacy methods like MQTT or OPC UA.
At its most basic, a digital twin is a virtual representation of a real world system. This is done so that a better understanding can be gained of how the system works. A live digital twin, and as the name suggests, it’s very much like a digital twin, except it uses live streaming data, and calculates live.
These are really exciting times, and for a good reason. PIWorld is a milestone for FogLAMP and a game changer for the whole Community involved in the development and implementation of IoT and IIoT projects. For the first time, industrial-grade solutions can combine decades of investments in existing infrastructure with new and innovative technologies.
Is Fog Computing another pointless renaming of well known technologies and IT infrastructures? Or is it a real new thing that Systems and Database Administrators should look at, study and embrace? The intent of this post is not to support one side or the other, but simply to instill a few thoughts that may turn handy in understanding where the IT market is going, and more specifically where MySQL can be a good fit in some of the new trends in technology.
