As the complexity of production machinery increases, so does the need for highly-trained specialists in each factory. This creates the following challenges:
- Higher personnel costs in every plant
- Harder to recruit experienced talent at each location
- Personnel turnover becomes more costly
- Less experienced operators run the machines sub-optimally, impacting resource consumption and overall equipment effectiveness (OEE).

The switch to Crate IoT Data Platform: 250x faster...
After learning about the Crate IoT Data Platform, they decided to migrate the project to Crate. Powered by CrateDB, the Crate IoT Data Platform is purpose-built for IoT workloads like ALPLA’s, and it was attractive for the following reasons:
- SQL: Easy to migrate data and code to Crate IoT Data Platform from SQL Server
- Distributed: Easy and economical to scale on elastic clusters of inexpensive servers
- Dynamic schema: Allowed ALPLA to combine all their 900 different sensor readings into a single table for easier maintenance and faster querying
- Real-time performance: Columnar indexes cached in memory enable the Crate IoT Data Platform to execute dashboards queries 250x faster than SQL Server (in milliseconds, not minutes).
