Reduced manual work and built reliable real-time collaboration with serverless messaging
I love Ably for its advanced pub/sub messaging capabilities, which help us with messaging Delta Compression, allowing us to send only changes from previous messages instead of entire payloads every time. For example, if I have to say 'hi', instead of sending the whole payload, it only sends the change in the current payload, reducing bandwidth consumption and enabling high-frequency data streaming. This major change has made our clients really happy as they receive notifications and messages without latency. Additionally, if a client goes offline, Ably stores messages in history for up to 72 hours, allowing clients to query history and catch up on missed events, ensuring complete stream continuity. It also supports multi-protocol, using WebSockets and gracefully falling back to server-sent events and long polling as needed, including support for MQTT and IoT devices along with pub/sub control for easy migration.I appreciate the serverless integration that has the integrated native web hook, instantly triggering serverless functions such as AWS Lambda and Azure Function when specific real-time events occur. It also allows Kafka Connector for seamless ingestion of messages from Kafka topics to stream them out to millions of users in milliseconds.

I hope Insights Hub can support a UMS idea and solution in the future. If we have a UMS hub or data center, Insights Hub could integrate with our database, allowing us to share one data center regardless of whether it is our MES system, SCADA system, or Insights Hub, which would be more efficient for a global company. Insights Hub could connect to our UMS data center, which would eliminate the need to rebuild a connection between the shop floor and Insights Hub. Additionally, Insights Hub could support MES functions, allowing us to integrate with the production line and transfer the ERP order from the ERP to our shop floor, thus helping the ERP be more efficient. This would include performing a buy-off from the shop floor to the ERP and adjusting the production plan for the ERP production order for greater efficiency in our production planning. I hope we can achieve MES functions in an IoT solution such as Insights Hub. One point I am not so satisfied with regarding Insights Hub is the gateway, which I believe runs on a Linux or Unix OS but does not display well for our end-users. This requires us to ask for help and support from our IT department as we cannot perform what we can do with a Windows device, such as RDP to the gateway and monitor any issues inside. Sometimes we do not know the issue exactly and have to check the log, which is very complex for the end-user.
