Working in the Oil & Gas Industry, and using IIOT

I have a Raspberry Pi 4B running in my office (365/24/7). This Pi runs 3 different Node Red flows.

One to get realtime weather data per Lat & Lon.This data is them published back to my Ignition Server using Mqtt Sparkplug B. We then can track the realtime weather for our "Remote - Edge Of Network" units that the weather could play a large role in how the unit preforms.

My second flow is a stock ticker that tracks in Realtime the current market price for Brent Crude Oil, West Texas Crude Oil, and Natural Gas. We use this to help determine how much our current "Stock-Level" is worth in realtime and when is best time to sell.

My third flow is used as an "Interface" to a 3rd party that we hire to manage one of our "Polymer Projects" . This flow also in realtime reads back from their server a select number of datapoints (tags) and Publishes using Mqtt Sparkplug B back to my Ignition Server. This allows me to have my own set of datapoints for Ignition.

I'm posting this to maybe help others beaware of things that can be used to help in their automation setup.
