Webinar Overview
The movement towards building smart factories is driving the adoption of MQTT and Sparkplug. These two technologies define the standard for sharing industrial data across the entire ecosystem of hardware vendors and application providers, like SCADA, MES, and Historian vendors. Sparkplug and MQTT now make it possible to consolidate the industrial data in the cloud for a deeper level of analysis and visualization to make smarter decisions.
This webinar showcases how easy it is to connect the popular Opto 22 groov EPIC to the cloud using HiveMQ Cloud and then visualizing the real-time data in Canary Labs Cloud historian.
The fun thing about the demo in the webinar is that no software was installed; we used only managed cloud solutions provided by HiveMQ and Canary Labs.
