For example, they are figuring out how to use MQTT in an industrial network for IIoT Fieldbus devices like Profinet, Modbus etc. How can it be used & how does it Interact with OPC UA? They find MQTT lightweight but there's always this tension as to where to use MQTT & where to use OPC UA.
- 35:56 - Is it possible to run a Sparkplug set-up and other use cases on the same broker cluster?
- 37:08 - What does the future look like with respect to Sparkplug?
- 38:30 - How can HiveMQ help with integration with other services on Azure?
- 45:36 - What tools are available for searching and querying the MQTT Workplace?
- 53:42 - What are the Skills required for developers to be able to create extensions for custom data for existing enterprise systems?
Webinar Overview
Drawing upon the success of our previous ‘Ask Me Anything About MQTT' webinar and on popular demand, we started a webinar series under the same name. In this April 2022 edition, our MQTT experts answered questions around MQTT, MQTT Sparkplug, MQTT on Azure, and IoT architecture.
