How MongoDB enables Next Generation Manufacturing Execution Systems

Over the last two decades, Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) have been an essential industrial software for production execution and shop-floor automation. However, the advent of Industry 4.0 has created a demand for a next-generation MES that can process large amounts of time series sensor data generated by Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) devices and merge it with production execution data. Integrating IIoT technologies with legacy MES software has proven challenging due to the monolithic design, inflexible data model, and poor horizontal scalability of relational databases used to store MES data. This paper explores the challenges associated with traditional relational databases used in MES software and how MongoDB addresses these challenges, allowing IIoT devices and MES to work collaboratively and synchronously, meeting Industry 4.0's scalability, flexibility, and interoperability requirements.

Built-in, not bolt-on security: Unpacking vital security features in MongoDB Atlas for Government

Time: 12:00PM - 1:00PM ET Security is a non-negotiable when it comes to working in the public sector. Government agencies and contractors are trusted with sensitive data every day, and must balance protection of that data with the need to leverage that data for innovation. Using solutions that are secure by default is critical for public sector organizations, particularly in light of recent comments by Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency Director Jen Easterly. “We have to have [multi factor authentication] by default. We can't charge extra for security logging and [single sign-on],” Easterly said. “We need to ensure that we're coming together to really protect the technology ecosystem instead of putting the burden on those least able to defend themselves.” MongoDB Atlas for Government (US) ensures government agencies can modernize without compromising on data security. In this session, data security experts will break down: Atlas for Government’s new FedRAMP Moderate Authorization Key built-in security features including field-level encryption, role-based access management, network isolation, and more Strategies for modernizing while keeping data secure

Dynamic Schema Design

Schema design determines the way an application handles its data. With traditional relational databases, you must define your schema before you can add any data. This inflexibility means you can’t change your schema as your data, application requirements or business evolves. In today’s world hyper-competitive, global business environment, this can hamper your efforts to innovate and stay on top of the competition. NoSQL databases arose to address this limitation by allowing you to insert data without a predefined schema. Because of this, you can easily make changes to an application without interruption. The result is more reliable code integration, faster development, and database administration time. MongoDB provides a document data model that lets you store and combine any type of data while also offering sophisticated data access and rich indexing features. With MongoDB, you don’t have to reinvent the wheel every time your business requirements change or evolve over time.

Evaluating Database Models

When you’re in the design phase of an application, evaluating database models is a critical step in the process. The database model determines the way an application handles data, directly affects the application’s performance and the ability to adapt to changing business requirements. In recent years, new data models have come about as part of the wave of NoSQL databases. These data models were designed to be flexible in order to tackle the large volume and variety of data typically generated by Big Data applications. In contrast, the data models in relational databases are inflexible and ill equipped to accommodate the way applications process data today. When you choose a newer, flexible database model, you benefit from: Being able to change your data model over time to suit your evolving needs Greater efficiency from not having to make time-consuming updates to the existing data in your system Being able to combine data from multiple sources to create a single view of your data MongoDB leads the pack of new database models by offering a document data model that allows for iterative and adaptive data modeling. A flexible schema design lets you incorporate new data into your application without a predefined schema. This allows you to iterate on your application with no interruption or downtime. MongoDB is a database built for today’s always-on, Big Data applications. With MongoDB, you can simplify your design, dynamically modify the database model, and cut down on overall development time. Contact us or download the white paper to learn more about our flexible data model.

Internet of Things Applications

The future has arrived. Is your database prepared? Technology companies are doing some awe-inspiring things with Internet of Things (IoT) applications. IoT describes technology which connects physical assets and devices together to share information and make life easier and more convenient. IoT devices are processing volumes of data previously unimagined. Bosch, for example, is harnessing data to use in a range of industrial internet of things applications including manufacturing, automotive, retail, and energy. With these sensor-enabled objects, futuristic scenarios have come alive in the ways previously thought impossible. New revenue opportunities abound but only if companies can wrangle that data into something meaningful. Enter MongoDB, the world’s most popular NoSQL database, to help you make sense of sensor data, building internet of things applications never before possible. All this in less time and with less cost than with alternative technologies. The advantages of creating an internet of things application with MongoDB: Document data model. With MongoDB, you can manage and incorporate data in any structure. This allows for you to launch and iterate on your application without having to start from scratch to meet evolving requirements. Inexpensively scale. IoT applications process great volumes of data through sensors so your system will need to scale quickly and cheaply. One of the advantages of MongoDB is the ability to scale out on inexpensive commodity hardware in your data center or in the cloud. Analyze any kind of data with MongoDB. Real-time analysis within the database means you don’t get the time delay you normally would processing data through an expensive data warehouse system. Internet of things applications can spell revolutionary change for your business. Learn more about why IoT is only possible with newer Big Data technology like MongoDB. Download our white paper, Why NoSQL Databases for the Internet of Things: Machina Research, for more insight into the challenges and opportunities for IoT in a rapidly evolving landscape.

Managing Distributed Data

Today’s generation of databases offers application developers lower cost, greater efficiency, and superior performance in comparison to its more traditional relational counterparts. A key driver behind the lower cost is the ability to scale out your system over commodity hardware. Older relational database technology, on the other hand, is expensive to scale because you need to buy a bigger server to meet the greater volume demand. MongoDB is the leader in a new generation of databases that are designed for scalability. With a technique called “sharding” you are able to easily distribute data and grow your deployment over inexpensive hardware or in the cloud. One of the benefits of scaling with MongoDB is that sharding is automatic and built into the database. This relieves developers of having to build in sharding logic into the application code to scale out the system. Scaling a database system is complex but MongoDB makes it easy. Find out more about the database developers love and the one that enterprises rely on to grow their businesses. Download our white paper today.
