| supOS-CE | An open-source industrial data integration platform built on the Unified Namespace (UNS) methodology, designed for managing, processing, and optimizing industrial data. |
| UNS (Unified Namespace) | A data management method that centralizes data from various devices and systems, providing a structured and unified framework to prevent data silos. |
| Node-RED | An open-source automation tool that enables users to wire together devices, APIs, and online services using a flow-based programming approach. |
| Grafana | An open-source platform for monitoring and data visualization, which allows users to create dashboards to view real-time data from various sources. |
| MQTT | A lightweight messaging protocol for small sensors and mobile devices optimized for high-latency or unreliable networks, commonly used for IoT communication. |
| JSON | JavaScript Object Notation, a lightweight data-interchange format that is easy for humans to read and write and easy for machines to parse and generate. |
| TimescaleDB | An open-source time-series database built on PostgreSQL, designed for handling large-scale time-series data, especially useful for monitoring systems and IoT applications. |
| PostgreSQL | An advanced open-source relational database management system that uses SQL for querying and is designed for high performance and reliability. |
| API (Application Programming Interface) | A set of protocols and tools that allows different software applications to communicate and interact with each other. |
| Data Tag | A unique identifier for data in the supOS-CE system that helps classify and organize data from various sources for easy access and management. |
| Persistence | The storage method used to ensure data is saved and available even after the system is restarted or shut down. |
| OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) | A metric used to assess the efficiency and effectiveness of equipment in a manufacturing environment, considering availability, performance, and quality. |
| AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) | An automated vehicle used in manufacturing or warehouse environments to transport materials, reducing human intervention in logistics operations. |
| REST API | A web service interface that allows applications to communicate over HTTP, using standard methods like GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE to access resources. |
| Time-Series Data | Data that is collected and recorded at regular intervals over time, such as equipment run time, temperature, and other performance metrics. |
| JSON Payload | Data transferred in the form of a JSON object that contains relevant information, such as sensor readings or device states, to be processed or stored. |
| Permission Management | The process of defining and controlling user access levels and permissions within a system to ensure secure and appropriate access to data and resources. |
| Authentication | The process of verifying the identity of a user or system to ensure that only authorized entities can access resources. |
| Event-Driven | A programming paradigm in which the flow of the program is determined by events, such as user actions, sensor data, or messages from other systems. |
