Are you considering replacing your legacy data historian and moving your OT data to the cloud? Join this technical webinar to learn how to adopt InfluxDB and IO Base - a digital platform used to improve operational efficiencies! Teréga Solutions are the creators of digital solutions used to improve energy efficiencies and to address decarbonization challenges. Their network includes 5,000+ km of gas pipelines within France; they aim to help France attain carbon neutrality by 2050. With these impressive goals in mind, Teréga has created IO-Base — the digital platform to improve industrial performance, and increase profitability. Creating digital twins for their clients allows them to collect data from all production sites and view it in real time, from anywhere and at any time. Discover how Teréga uses InfluxDB, Docker, and AWS to monitor its gas and hydrogen pipeline infrastructure. They chose to replace their legacy data historian with InfluxDB — the purpose built time series database. They are collecting more than 100K different metrics at various frequencies — some are collected every 5 seconds to only every 1-2 minutes. THey have reduced overall IT spend by 50% and collect 2x the amount of data at 20x frequency! By using various industrial protocols (Modbus, OPC-UA, etc.), Teréga improved output, reduced the TCO, and is now able to create added-value services: forecast, monitoring, predictive maintenance. Join this webinar as Thomas Delquié dives into: Teréga's approach to modernizing fossil fuel pipelines IT systems while improving yields and safety Their centralized methodology to collecting sensor, hardware, and network metrics The importance of time series data and why they chose InfluxDB

Origins of IO-Base
Leveraging Industrial Data - Problem statement
Industrial site(s)
Place to optimize / securize
(energy, carbon, raw material,
logistics…)
Great algorithms!
Easy creation of services
Place where the “best in class”
solutions are
Previous infrastructure to
manage and interconnect

6. Journée IO-BASE
Possible solutions
Full replication
- One more infrastructure
- Costly
- Hard to maintain: 2 active
database
Data cherry picking
- Security issue
- Bandwidth
- Data scattering/discrepancy
- Impossible to maintain

7. Journée IO-BASE
Paradigm shift: full cloud
Full Cloud
- No local IT (except for command/control)
- Data Historian in the Cloud
- Highest security possible for industrial site
Secure data collection & transfer
- Data diode for unidirectional flow of data
- Connect to sensors / PLC → send directly to the
Cloud
- Simple to install and no maintenance required

9. Journée IO-BASE
Cloud Data Historian: Build or buy?
Our needs:
● End-to-end solution to monitor our plants and leverage data
● Highly configurable system for end users with no code
● Both simple and secure to send and retrieve data
● Performance, scalability, 24/7 availability
Market survey:
● No industrial cloud native Data Historian
● Legacy Data Historian with an extension to the Cloud, but:
● Too complex to commission, not easy to customize
● Need to enhance security of data and infrastructure hosting it
● Expensive with complex licencing model
● Multitude of Data Platform, but:
● Focused on AI/Analytics, not industrial requirements and services
?
Decision: Build

10. Journée IO-BASE
InfluxDB Choice
How to build our own data historian:
● Need for a Time Series Database to meet our specific requirements.
● Evaluated solutions in 2019 such as BigTable with custom layers, WarpX,
and TimescaleDB.
Selection of InfluxDB:
● Performance
● Dynamic Measurement Creation
● Ecosystem
● Open source or free tier to evaluate
● Market Leadership

11. Journée IO-BASE
Challenges - feedback : Enhance Database Security
● Make InfluxDB Infrastructure Private : Use a private subnet and an
AWS Transit Gateway for enhanced security and isolation.
● From Basic Auth API to Oauth2 Auth API
● Custom layer on top of InfluxDB to manage permissions on each
measurements

Security Challenge - Custom Layer on Top

15. Journée IO-BASE
Hierarchy & Metadata Challenges:
Solution : Maintain a straightforward data structure in InfluxDB and handle metadata and data hierarchy through
our layer on top, IOBASE. This allows the end user to dynamically reorganize their data whenever needed.

16. Journée IO-BASE
Hierarchy & Metadata Challenges: DynamoDB

17. Journée IO-BASE
Security Challenge - DynamoDb for Permissions

18. Journée IO-BASE
Performance Challenges
● Provide high-performance insertion, retrieval, and analysis of massive time-based
data
● Minor performance issue while retrieving the list of all measurements due to our
architecture => We used our custom data structuring layer on top of InfluxDB.
● Integration of Redis to maintain real-time data states, enabling efficient process
visualization (Indaview), formula calculations, and alerts.
