Methods and systems for data collection in an industrial environment with haptic feedback and data communication and bandwidth control are disclosed. A system can include a data collector to collect data based on a selected data collection routine, a data storage to store a plurality of collector routes and data, a data acquisition circuit to interpret the data and determine an occurrence of an anomalous condition, a data analysis circuit to evaluate a data communication constraint and adjust a volume of data communicated between the input channels and the data storage, wherein the data analysis circuit determines an aggregate rate of data being collected, and, if the aggregate rate exceeds a current bandwidth allocation rate, request an increase to the current bandwidth allocation rate, and a haptic user device for generating a haptic stimulation in response an occurrence of a specified anomalous condition.
