Mastering the Line Chart: Visualize Trends Over Time

The line chart is a cornerstone of data visualization and analysis, particularly for continuous IoT metrics. JEDI's line chart offers both classic line plots and area charts, providing flexibility in how you choose to emphasize your data.

Key Use Cases

  • Trend Spotting

    Easily identify patterns, such as increases, decreases, or cyclical behavior in metrics like temperature, energy consumption, or production output.

  • Comparative Analysis

    Juxtapose multiple metrics on a single chart to compare trends and reveal potential correlations.

Real-World Examples

Smart Factory: Track production line throughput over time to identify bottlenecks or periods of peak efficiency.

Renewable Energy: Monitor solar panel output throughout the day, observing the impact of weather patterns or shading.

Environmental Sensing: Visualize temperature trends over days, weeks, or months to analyze seasonal variations.

Urban Farming (Greenhouses): Monitor temperature, humidity, and CO2 levels inside greenhouses to optimize plant growth and create ideal growing conditions.

Tip

Overlay Thresholds: Add horizontal lines (configurable within JEDI) to represent critical values and instantly spot when metrics cross those limits.

Multiple Metrics: Use different colors or line styles to distinguish multiple metrics plotted on the same line chart.
