WEBINAR : Why Use a Time Series Database for Real-Time Industrial Intelligence
Wednesday, 11 February, 2026

What is a time series database and why should you consider using one? In this podcast, we will examine challenges that traditional relational databases struggle to address efficiently and how to implement high-performance time-series data systems with minimal operational overhead. We'll explore how modern open source technologies like InfluxDB, Apache Arrow, DataFusion, and turn high-volume, high-velocity, high-resolution manufacturing and industrial data into actionable intelligence, without compromising performance and keeping storage costs low. What you'll learn: Why traditional databases struggle with modern manufacturing data requirements Key characteristics that make time series databases essential for industrial operations How to achieve real-time data processing at massive scale with minimal infrastructure overhead Practical implementation strategies using modern open source technologies Real-world manufacturing use cases demonstrating measurable ROI and operational improvements Brought to you by: influxdb SPEAKER: Scott Anderson, Product Manager Scott Anderson is a Product Manager at InfluxData, leading product management for the company's core database.
