Manufacturing IoT Sensor Data & OEE Calculation Pipelines
A practitioner-focused resource for industrial engineers, IIoT developers, manufacturing data analysts and Python automation builders shipping production-grade telemetry pipelines.
Concrete patterns for PLC and MQTT ingestion, deterministic state resolution, downtime classification, OEE math (Availability × Performance × Quality), shift aggregation, alert routing, dashboard sync and batch automation — distilled from real factory-floor experience and written so you can copy, adapt and deploy.
The site is organised into three working tracks. Start with the one closest to where your pipeline is hurting today.
Core Architecture & Data Mapping
Edge gateways, canonical tag dictionaries, MQTT topic schemas, time-series persistence, precision and fallback routing.
Open the trackIngestion & Cleaning Workflows
Protocol normalization, clock-drift correction, outlier detection, gap filling, and async idempotent persistence.
Open the trackDowntime Classification & OEE Calculation
State machines, microstop thresholds, shift boundary logic, OEE math validation, and resilient fallback routing.
