Data Stream

Definition

Data Streams are a powerful way to capture and organize data. They produce information consisting of the Device ID, Message ID and a time stamp for when the data was received. The Data Streams may then be used within a Deployment Instance for calculations and comparisons. They may also be stored for later reference and use.




Example

Temperatures of the Plymouth IoT Conveyor Belt were saved as Data Streams. Every time a bearings’ temperature was sent from the Device to the Cloud, it was saved in a special format that allowed the engineer to look at what temperatures were produced over a period of time.
