The Factory Sensor Data Monitoring Platform is a Big Data project that combines Stream ingestion and Forecasting module, built with MQTT. The project follows a clean, modular pipeline where data ingestion, processing, and presentation stay separated, making it easy to test, extend, and present. It showcases practical Big Data techniques while producing a working, demo-ready application.
Traditional tools struggle to handle the volume, velocity, and variety of this data, making analysis slow and expensive. Without a Big Data approach built on Forecasting module and MQTT, users cannot process and analyze large datasets efficiently, and there is no scalable way to derive timely insights.
This project applies Big Data techniques through Stream ingestion, orchestrated with MQTT and Forecasting module. The pipeline is designed for scale and reliability, with ingestion, processing, and clear evaluation. It produces consistent, reusable results and can be adapted to related large-scale tasks with minimal changes.

Modular data pipeline around Stream ingestion and Forecasting module
Configurable processing and storage settings
Clear logging, metrics, and error handling
Clean interface for viewing results
Reusable components for related Big Data tasks
Scalable to larger datasets
The project is layered: the ingestion layer loads and validates data through Stream ingestion; the processing layer applies Big Data tools with MQTT and Forecasting module; and the output layer formats and presents results via Alert system. Shared configuration, logging, and monitoring modules support all layers, keeping the system robust and easy to extend.
