########## Quickstart ########## This section provides a demonstration of the capabilities of FactoryTX. You will configure the three major components of FactoryTX to initiate data acquisition from two different data sources. You will be using the FactoryTX UI for all the configuration requirements. You will also need access to a Sight Machine cloud environment if you want to see raw data transmitted to the platform (ask your Sight Machine contact for details). The guide uses sample data from an imaginary manufacturing startup that specializes in safari park vehicles. Given the nature of modern auto manufacturing, the supply chain is distributed all over the globe and raw data is stored in the cloud. The data is stored using two services, each with data related to different manufacturing processes. FactoryTX will be configured to collect data from an MS SQL Server and an Azure Data Lake, apply some light data transformations, and upload data as records to a Sight Machine cloud instance.
