Enabling Regulatory Compliance and Audit Management for the Chemical Manufacturing Industry
The chemical manufacturing industry is required to comply with a complex set of government regulations. An effective compliance program is essential to prevent business disruptions and loss of reputation. As a result, chemical manufacturers must maintain strict quality control, detailed product information, and a continuous integration of the data between operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) systems. These goals can be achieved through the adoption of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technologies. Chemical manufacturing companies rely on HiveMQ to help them:
- Automate regulatory compliance reporting
- Enable traceability to support audit management and product recalls
- Achieve higher Overall Equipment Efficiency(OEE)
- Enable remote monitoring
- Reduce their carbon footprint
- Enable product innovations

Creating Powerful Digital Transformation in the Chemical Manufacturing Industry
Chemical Manufacturing companies are powering their Digital Transformation using IIoT and Industry 4.0 technologies. Adopting IIoT technologies brings multiple advantages including improved product quality, increased process efficiency, reduction in cycle times, reduction of scrap and rework, better adherence to regulatory guidelines and reduction of carbon footprint among several others.
However, there are a number of data challenges to overcome while implementing IIoT solutions, including:
- Disparate systems that don’t necessary talk to each other seamlessly
- Legacy infrastructure and manual processes especially for regulatory and compliance reporting
- Lack of strong connectivity availability and reliability
You need a solution that can consistently overcome these data challenges, and MQTT is a lightweight publish/subscribe protocol that does that by:
- Deploying lightweight MQTT clients on various systems, allowing data to seamlessly flow between OT and IT systems through an MQTT broker
- Connecting efficiently to existing infrastructure and thus avoiding huge investments
- Enabling easy digitization of operations to enable regulatory compliance reporting and safe practices
- Providing simple and reliable data connections that work in poor connectivity environments, using less bandwidth
- Providing for the traceability of data across the business, accessible to various stakeholders such as suppliers and customers during the quality audit process
HiveMQ is an MQTT-based messaging platform designed for the fast, efficient, and reliable movement of data to and from chemical manufacturing plant machines, processes, applications, and enterprise systems on premise or on the cloud to enable IIoT and Digital Transformation. Discover the full features of the HiveMQ platform for building IIoT solutions for the chemical manufacturing industry.
Use Case 1: Regulatory reporting
Use Case 2: Product traceability
Powering Digitization in the Chemical Manufacturing Industry with IIoT and MQTT
At the heart of Digital Transformation and digitization initiatives in chemical manufacturing is Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technologies, which enable use cases including cloud digital twins, analytics, machine learning and artificial intelligence. That said, chemical manufacturing still grapples with challenges like legacy equipment with proprietary protocols, unreliable connections, and complex infrastructures. These challenges make it difficult to implement IIoT solutions.
