“…Big data analysis has led to significant improvements in the manufacturing industry, such as reducing energy consumption [ 17 ], improving production scheduling and logistics planning [ 18 ], mitigating social risks [ 19 ], and facilitating better decision making [ 20 ]. Previous studies have shown significant benefits from several big data technologies in processing and storing large volumes of data quickly, such as with the application of Apache Kafka [ 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 ], Apache Storm [ 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 ], and NoSQL MongoDB [ 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 ]. Previous studies showed significant advantages from the integration of big data technologies such as reducing the processing time for home automation systems [ 38 ], providing effective and efficient solutions for processing IoT-generated data for smart cities [ 39 ], and handling large amounts of smart environmental data in real-time [ 40 ].…”
