Webinar Overview

AI-driven operations start with the right data foundation, and you don’t need to rip and replace to build one. Whether you are modernizing a brownfield plant or architecting a new greenfield installation, Siemens and HiveMQ give manufacturers a proven path to connect OT systems, move data in real time, and create the AI-ready infrastructure needed to scale Industry 4.0 initiatives.

Join us to learn how Siemens Industrial Edge and HiveMQ work together to establish a Unified Namespace (UNS) and a reliable OT/IT bridge - grounded in the Siemens IT/OT Framework. We will show how contextualized, real-time operational data flows to the analytics platforms, AI models, and teams that depend on it, eliminating data silos and unlocking smarter, faster decisions across the plant floor.

Attendees will leave with a clear picture of how to build a scalable architecture and data foundation - in new or existing installations - that supports industrial AI applications today and grows with their operations tomorrow.
