Data Collection and Scheduling: The Invisible Bottleneck in Intelligent Manufacturing Upgrades

As manufacturing moves toward intelligence, flexibility, and transparency, data interactions among production equipment, quality inspection systems, warehousing and logistics systems, and MES/WMS platforms are growing exponentially.

However, in real-world implementations, manufacturing companies commonly face the following challenges:

  • Diverse and complex data sources: Device protocols, PLC data, MES/WMS systems, and edge-side collection systems all differ in format, making unified scheduling difficult.
  • Difficulties in cross-system and cross-factory collaboration: Long data transmission chains and high real-time requirements exist between factories, production lines, and systems.
  • Complex industrial scheduling logic: With many task dependencies and long chains, traditional scheduling tools often fail to meet industrial scenarios.
  • Insufficient visualization and traceability: Industrial data collection pipelines lack transparency, making troubleshooting difficult.
  • Unreliable data collection quality: Once exceptions occur, they are often hard to locate and hard to recover.

In today’s comprehensive industrial digitalization, more and more enterprises are asking: Is it possible to have an industrial-grade data scheduling system with high reliability, high observability, and cross-system collaboration support?

The emergence of Apache DolphinScheduler brings new possibilities for data collection and scheduling in manufacturing.

Apache DolphinScheduler in Manufacturing Data Collection Practices

To help more manufacturing enterprises better understand how Apache DolphinScheduler is implemented in industrial scenarios, we invited Qiu Zhongbiao, an intelligent manufacturing expert from a large manufacturing group in Shenzhen, to deliver an in-depth sharing session on industrial data collection and scheduling.

Through this livestream, you will learn:

  • How Apache DolphinScheduler supports industrial scheduling logic
  • How to improve pipeline reliability in cross-system and cross-factory data flows
  • Real application solutions for material traceability and data collection in factories
  • How DolphinScheduler deeply integrates with MES/WMS and industrial internet systems
  • How open-source ecosystems and manufacturing technologies co-evolve under Industry 4.0 digital transformation

This session provides practical guidance for developers, architects, and digitalization teams working to build intelligent factories.
