A distribution center has multiple sensors reporting temperature readings and sending the information to a central platform. Network disruptions occur frequently, causing some devices to lose connection unexpectedly. Which approach is most likely to keep data flow stable and avoid missing important readings from disconnected devices?
Collecting data in large chunks at timed intervals before sending a single transfer
Transmitting all data through a direct connection from each sensor
Using a protocol designed for messaging between sensors and a central broker
Implementing a minimal communication approach without temporary storage of data
A system that includes a broker-based method is well-suited for handling frequent disruptions. It can store readings, manage exchanges between sensors and the host, and smoothly resume transfers when devices go offline. Direct links cannot manage breakages as effectively, batch uploads risk losing large portions of data if a failure intersects a scheduled transmission, and minimal methods with no temporary storage result in uncaptured data if a sensor goes offline.
