Formatter

Industrial data formatter for structured logging in manufacturing systems

Component Specifications

Definition
A specialized industrial component within logging systems that converts raw machine data into standardized, structured formats for analysis, monitoring, and compliance reporting in manufacturing environments. It ensures data consistency across different machines and production lines.
Working Principle
The formatter operates by receiving raw data streams from sensors and machine controllers, applying predefined formatting rules and templates, converting data types, adding metadata tags, and outputting structured data in standardized formats (JSON, XML, CSV) with consistent timestamps, units, and identifiers.
