Google cloud and analysis of realtime process data A current topic regarding the automation of technical processes involves use of the technology trend Big Data. Previous Big Data solutions are concentrated on process data that is not time critical from the upper automation levels for improving coordination and scheduling tasks. In contrast, this paper presents the concept and implementation for a Big Data automation service which can be used to store real time process data from systems/machines in a cloud, from where it can be analyzed with user-specific algorithms.
