United Manufacturing Hub (UMH) has chosen Grafana for its industrial IoT (IIoT) platform due to its flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and ease of use. Unlike traditional industrial tools, Grafana offers visually compelling dashboards and an extensive online community for support. Integrating seamlessly with TimescaleDB, it allows for real-time data visualization from various sources. While Grafana cannot directly interface with industrial controllers, workarounds exist to facilitate this communication. UMH also leverages Grafana Cloud for monitoring internal systems.
