Over the past decade, a technology revolution has led to the growth of smart manufacturing. This trend was enabled by the increased availability of cloud computing resources, rapid mobile device proliferation, and the adoption of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) devices. These solutions benefit manufacturers in many ways, but they also bring challenges. Often, companies implement technologies to solve individual problems rather than bringing them into a harmonious ecosystem.

Every business strives to succeed in the digital economy.

Most web applications use a data store of some kind, often a relational database. When a web app becomes successful, it can become all too easy to start "hoarding" data in the database. But hoarding data leads to the unbounded growth of database tables (both row count and stored data size). While this works fine to a certain point, it is very useful to prevent some data bloat — or, if you cannot prevent it, to plan for your infrastructure ahead of time to adequately manage growth.

In today’s world, tech and software possibilities are exponentially expanding. Whether it is the innovation of cloud-based storage or a solution to a very old problem, there is always something new coming out.

You don't have to wait until the full video downloads.
