Integrating Tableau with Internet of Things Acquiring Projects

This paper was written to present the advantages of integrating Tableau Desktop with Internet of Things projects data. Tableau Desktop is a data visualization tool that generates custom graphs and very detailed representations of acquired/execution information. The main functionalities of this tool can be used to have a better overview of the chosen IoT project. By analyzing more detailed representations of data, it is easier to monitor the whole project and accurately identify the focal areas for different action points within the project. Another advantage is represented by the availability of both acquired and execution information gathered from different environments. Some IoT projects rely on this type of availability because they are handling big data volumes that require live and constant monitoring. Tableau is known for the capability to monitor large amounts of information and generate useful diagrams, charts, dashboards geographical dimensions and data partitioning.
