Specific characteristics

TDengine™ is a time-series database designed to help traditional industries overcome the challenges of Industry 4.0 and Industrial IoT. It enables real-time ingestion, storage, analysis, and distribution of petabytes of data per day, generated by billions of sensors and data collectors. By making big data accessible and affordable, TDengine helps everyone — from independent developers and startups to industry stalwarts and multinationals — unlock the true value of their data.

Competitive advantages
  • High Performance at Any Scale: With its distributed scalable architecture that grows together with your business, TDengine can store and process massive datasets up to 10.6x faster than other TSDBs — all while providing the split-second latency that your real-time visualization and reporting apps demand.

  • Efficient Data Storage: With its unique design and data model, TDengine provides the most cost-effective solution for storing your operations data, including tiered storage, S3, and 10:1 data compression, ensuring that you can get valuable business insights from your data without breaking the bank.

  • Data Consolidation Across Sites: With built-in connectors for a wide variety of industrial sources — MQTT, Kafka, OPC, PI System, and more — TDengine delivers zero-code data ingestion and extract, transform, and load (ETL) in a centralized platform that acts as a single source of truth for your business.

  • Comprehensive Solution for Industrial Data: With out-of-the-box data subscription, caching, and stream processing, TDengine is more than just a time-series database — it includes all key components needed for industrial data storage and processing built into a single product and accessible through familiar SQL statements.

Typical application scenarios

TDengine is purpose-built for Industry 4.0 and the Industrial IoT (IIoT) and particularly suited for the renewable energy industry.
