Q: Can SurrealDB handle industrial IoT sensor data?

Yes. SurrealDB is built in Rust for high-throughput, low-latency ingestion and supports time-series aggregation. It handles continuous streams from factory sensors, smart meters, and SCADA systems with consistent performance at scale.

Q: Does SurrealDB run on edge devices in manufacturing environments?

Yes. SurrealDB compiles to a single binary and runs embedded on edge gateways and industrial PCs. It stores and queries data locally for real-time process control, then synchronises with a central instance when connectivity is available.

Q: How does SurrealDB support predictive maintenance?

SurrealDB stores equipment telemetry alongside vector embeddings from vibration analysis or thermal imaging. Native vector search identifies similar failure patterns, while graph relationships map dependencies between machines, components, and maintenance histories.

Q: Can SurrealDB model supply chain and asset relationships?

Yes. SurrealDB's graph edges model supplier-component-assembly-facility relationships as first-class connections. You can traverse multi-tier supply chains, trace materials through production, and identify single points of failure in a single query.

Q: Does SurrealDB support historical queries for compliance reporting?

Yes. SurrealDB's versioned temporal tables let you retrieve data as it existed at any past point. This simplifies regulatory audits, quality investigations, and energy compliance reporting without maintaining separate audit databases.

Unified, AI-ready database platform for real-time infrastructure monitoring, predictive maintenance, and intelligent automation - from cloud to edge.

CAPABILITIES

Security and portability from edge to cloud

Robust memory safety and high performance

Written in Rust for memory safety guarantees with performance equivalent to C/C++, trusted by security-critical industries.

Portability to edge and embedded systems

Process data on-site, in-browser via WebAssembly, or across remote environments. Ideal for IoT-driven energy grids, smart factories, and field-deployed systems.

AI-ready: native vector and knowledge graph

Native vector search for embedding-based retrieval combined with knowledge graphs for representing complex entity relationships.

Flexible deployment: cloud to edge to browser

Run as a cloud service, self-hosted, embedded, or in-browser. Perfect for offline-capable control systems and mobile maintenance apps.

SEE IT IN ACTION

Detect anomalies in sensor data

Use time-series queries to monitor equipment telemetry and flag deviations before they cause failures.

1-- Detect temperature anomalies in the last hour
2-- by comparing against the rolling 24h average
3LET $avg = (SELECT VALUE math::mean(value)
4    FROM reading
5    WHERE sensor = sensor:turbine_01
6    AND timestamp > time::now() - 24h)[0];
7
8SELECT timestamp, value
9FROM reading
10WHERE sensor = sensor:turbine_01
11    AND timestamp > time::now() - 1h
12    AND value > $avg * 1.3;
