Today's warehouses are complex systems with a very high degree of automation. The key to the successful operation of these warehouses lies in having a holistic view on the entire system based on data from various components like sensors, PLCs, embedded controllers, and software systems. All these components can be seen as “data silos” distributed across the entire site - each of them storing just some pieces of information in various data structures and different ways to access it.
After trying multiple database systems, TGW moved to CrateDB for its ability to aggregate different data formats and ability to query this information without much hassle.
