FAQs

What is ETL?

ETL, an acronym for Extract, Transform, Load, is a vital data integration process. It involves extracting data from diverse sources, transforming it into a usable format, and loading it into a database, data warehouse or data lake. This process enables meaningful data analysis, enhancing business intelligence.

What is Senseforce?

What data can you extract from Senseforce?

Senseforce's API provides access to a wide range of data related to industrial processes and machines. The following are the categories of data that can be accessed through the API:

1. Machine data: This includes data related to the performance and status of machines, such as temperature, pressure, vibration, and energy consumption.
2. Production data: This includes data related to the production process, such as production rates, cycle times, and quality metrics.
3. Maintenance data: This includes data related to the maintenance of machines, such as maintenance schedules, maintenance logs, and repair history.
4. Inventory data: This includes data related to inventory levels, such as raw materials, work-in-progress, and finished goods.
5. Environmental data: This includes data related to the environment in which the machines operate, such as humidity, air quality, and noise levels.
6. Safety data: This includes data related to safety incidents, near-misses, and safety protocols.
7. Supply chain data: This includes data related to the supply chain, such as supplier performance, delivery times, and inventory levels at suppliers.

Overall, Senseforce's API provides a comprehensive set of data that can be used to optimize industrial processes, improve machine performance, and reduce costs.

How do I transfer data from Senseforce?

This can be done by building a data pipeline manually, usually a Python script (you can leverage a tool as Apache Airflow for this). This process can take more than a full week of development. Or it can be done in minutes on Airbyte in three easy steps:
1. Set up Senseforce to Firebolt as a source connector (using Auth, or usually an API key)
2. Choose a destination (more than 50 available destination databases, data warehouses or lakes) to sync data too and set it up as a destination connector
3. Define which data you want to transfer from Senseforce to Firebolt and how frequently
You can choose to self-host the pipeline using Airbyte Open Source or have it managed for you with Airbyte Cloud.

What is ELT?

ELT, standing for Extract, Load, Transform, is a modern take on the traditional ETL data integration process. In ELT, data is first extracted from various sources, loaded directly into a data warehouse, and then transformed. This approach enhances data processing speed, analytical flexibility and autonomy.

Difference between ETL and ELT?

ETL and ELT are critical data integration strategies with key differences. ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) transforms data before loading, ideal for structured data. In contrast, ELT (Extract, Load, Transform) loads data before transformation, perfect for processing large, diverse data sets in modern data warehouses. ELT is becoming the new standard as it offers a lot more flexibility and autonomy to data analysts.
