The document discusses using MongoDB as a universal datastore for industrial Internet of Things applications. It presents the benefits of MongoDB, including its flexibility to store different data types in the same field, its scalability for high-frequency industrial data, and its simplicity as a schema-less database that can interconnect data from various sources without restrictions. MongoDB is seen as a perfect fit for industrial big data as it can handle the performance, storage volumes, and variant data structures required for real-time IoT applications in manufacturing.
