From Live Data to Asset Model
Connect OPC UA and MQTT data to build an asset model in TDengine
TDengine Free Tier Workshop Session 2
The most requested topic following our first TDengine Free Tier Workshop was clear: before building dashboards and using AI, teams need a strong data foundation.
In Session 2, we’ll build that foundation together. You’ll see how to connect live industrial data through OPC UA and MQTT, configure data collection and tag mapping, and turn raw tags into a structured equipment and asset model.
Thursday, August 27, 2026
7:00 – 8:30 a.m. PT | 04:00 – 05:30 p.m. CET
60-minute workshop followed by an optional 30-minute live Q&A
Register NowWhat You’ll Learn
During this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to:
- Connect live OPC UA and MQTT data sources
- Configure data collection and tag mapping
- Store incoming time-series data in TDengine
- Organize equipment into an asset hierarchy
- Create attributes and add operational context
- Prepare the data for dashboards, events, analytics, and AI
- Apply the same approach to other common industrial data sources
No previous TDengine experience is required, and you do not need to have attended Session 1.
To participate hands-on, please install TDengine All-in-One before the workshop.
Optional 30-Minute Live Q&A
Stay after the workshop and submit questions through the live chat about installation, connectors, data migration, dashboards, analytics, AI, or your own use case.
Install TDengine Before the Workshop
To participate hands-on, please install TDengine All-in-One before the session.
- Use a Windows, Linux, or macOS computer.
- Follow the TDengine All-in-One installation guide for your environment.
- Windows and Linux users can install TDengine directly or use Docker.
- macOS users should deploy TDengine using Docker.
- Confirm that TDengine is running and accessible in your browser before the workshop.
Any current version of TDengine All-in-One is suitable.
Please complete the installation in advance so we can begin working with data immediately. If you cannot finish the setup beforehand, you can still attend, follow the demonstration, and complete the exercises afterward.
Install TDengine All-in-OneWho Should Attend?
This workshop is designed for:
- Controls and automation engineers
- Historian and PI System users
- Industrial data engineers
- OT and IT architects
- Manufacturing analytics teams
- Operations and reliability professionals
- Anyone exploring a modern industrial data platform
Basic familiarity with industrial data is helpful, but no TDengine experience is required.
One Platform for Industrial Data
TDengine combines the capabilities industrial teams expect from a traditional historian with modern analytics and AI:
- Industrial data collection and storage
- Equipment and asset modeling
- Real-time dashboards and visualization
- Advanced operational analytics
- AI-powered operational insights
- Integration with modern data and AI tools
Instead of assembling separate tools for data storage, asset modeling, dashboards, analytics, and AI, you can work with them in one integrated platform.
Start Free, and Keep Using It Free
TDengine is free forever for deployments with up to 5,000 tags, including production use.
After the workshop, you can continue using the environment you installed and apply what you learned to your own industrial data.
