A Bridge API compatible platform only guarantees that all Smart Manufacturing applications can be executed on this platform and that all employees and IT systems are supplied with data from production. However, the response times of an IoT platform depend on various influencing factors. On the one hand, the performance depends on the respective implementation and on the other hand on the hardware used. The reference implementation FORCAM FORCE Bridge uses Apache Ignite to output data stored in memory faster. However, the performance gain achieved by using this technology depends on the available memory volume. In addition, no matter how powerful a platform itself may be, if the network connection is poor, an application will still have to expect high latency times.
