InfluxData today announced accelerated momentum in Industrial Data and Internet of Things (IoT) driven by new customers, product enhancements and expanded industrial partnerships fueled by the growth of time series data. Customers including Tesla, Rolls Royce, Airbus, Teck, Graco and Graphite Energy are using InfluxDB to collect industrial data from devices and sensors.

Time series data differs from “normal” data in an interesting way. The essential characteristic is that the data’s primary point of reference is a timestamp showing at which point in time a sample of data was measured. Time series databases like InfluxDB are helpful for situations that involve this kind of data.
