MQTT Sparkplug: A Novel Solution to Data Interoperability in Industrial Automation

Data is what our world thrives on. The data we get day in and day out – right from machine data generated by factory equipment to controls data generated by SCADA systems to systems process data in MES systems – can then be combined to create a competitive advantage.

At the heart of any successful Industrial IoT(IIoT) project lies seamless bidirectional data flow and end-to-end data interoperability. In practice, however, it is quite challenging to get the OT and the IT systems talking to each other and to the cloud and the edge. A novel solution to bringing end-to-end IIoT data interoperability and exchange is adopting the MQTT Sparkplug specification.

Follow along Dominik Obermaier, CTO and Co-founder of HiveMQ, as he discusses how MQTT Sparkplug can be a game-changer for your industrial automation and digital transformation efforts.
