WebAssembly on the Factory Floor: Efficient and Secure Processing of High Velocity Machine Data - Jochen Rau & Tyler Schoppe - MachineMetrics, LLC
WebAssembly, known for its small footprint, safe execution, and wide range of deployment targets, offers a compelling solution for the complex requirements of Industrial IoT applications. In this presentation, we'll take a technical look at WebAssembly and discuss why it is advantageous compared to traditional approaches in IoT environments. MachineMetrics is transforming the way data is processed in industrial settings through the instrumentation of edge devices with NATS/Jetstream and wasmCloud. We will cover our custom approach to downsampling high-frequency machine data, utilizing the Largest-Triangle-Three-Buckets (LTTB) algorithm adapted for real-time data streams, to provide proactive maintenance telemetry across edge and cloud platforms. Our presentation will explore the technical challenges found in managing stateful actors, securing credentials and GitOps. Topics covered will interest professionals adept in modern data handling and system architecture.
