Hi Fei, this sounds like a very interesting project.
I mostly use data produced directly by the machine so unfortunately I don't have quite as much experience in the field of sensors. However, I performed some experimental set ups were I added the following sensors: * Bosch XDK * NETIO Power Sensors [1] For NETIO we have a direct integration into StreamPipes. I also know some people who added sensors via a Arduino board to collect data, but I am not sure if this is suitable for a manufacturing environment. It would be very cool if we could suggest a set of sensors on the StreamPipes Homepage as a plug-and-play retrofit solution. If you have any experience or suggestions you can write them here so we can add them. Philipp [1] https://www.netio-products.com/ <https://www.netio-products.com/> > On 15.
