New to Unreal Engine – Can It Handle Real-Time Data for a Simulation?

Hi, I’m fairly new to Unreal Engine and wanted to explore its capabilities. I’m working on a project where I’d like to create a simulation of a marine vessel / boat and integrate real-time data (like engine performance, environmental factors, etc.) into it. Before diving too deep, I just wanted to know if Unreal Engine can handle real-time data integration and visualization, and if so, how complex it is to set up?

Any suggestions or tips for a beginner would be really helpful. Thanks in advance!
