Data-Driven Factory (IIoT)

The rise of Industrial IoT (IIoT) has created fully connected, data-driven factories. Using automation and real-time analytics, manufacturers can optimize production, manage workflows more efficiently, and enhance decision-making. Adopting a UNS ensures seamless data flow, empowering more innovative and agile processes.

Digital Twins

Digital twins are virtual models of physical assets or systems that allow manufacturers to simulate and optimize production processes in a virtual environment. By analyzing real-time data and running simulations, manufacturers can predict and resolve issues before they occur, significantly enhancing efficiency and reducing costs.

Unified Namespace (UNS)

Unified Namespace (UNS) is an innovative approach that gathers data from various industrial IoT (IIoT) systems, adds context, and transforms it into a format that other systems can easily understand.

Real Time

MQTT minimizes latency, enabling near-instantaneous communication and efficient real-time data exchange between devices.

Multi-Point

Event-Driven Architecture

The event-driven nature of MQTT ensures data is transmitted as events occur instead of at fixed intervals, leading to better decision-making.

/sb-assets/f/243938/150x150/fc3b667a55/unified-namespace.svg

Data Aggregation

Coupled with UNS, MQTT can aggregate data from various sources, including legacy systems and modern IoT devices, into a unified platform.

Edge Optimized

MQTT is well-suited for the edge, reducing latency and bandwidth usage, and allowing for faster, real-time decision-making on the factory floor​.

/sb-assets/f/243938/150x150/7e734b2339/reliable-black.svg

Reliable

MQTT ensures reliable message delivery with different Quality of Service (QoS) levels, making it suitable for critical industrial applications.

/sb-assets/f/243938/64x64/927cc2cd2b/security.svg

Secure

MQTT incorporates robust security features including encryption, access control, and authentication to protect manufacturing data.

Low Bandwidth

MQTT's lightweight design and publish/subscribe model make it highly efficient for environments with limited bandwidth.

Efficiency

Energy Efficient

MQTT's efficient data transmission methods help reduce the energy consumption of resource-constrained sensors and devices.

/sb-assets/f/243938/64x64/c74269d3c9/seamless-interation.svg

Protocol-Agnostic

MQTT is protocol-agnostic and works with various communication protocols, for seamless integration across diverse systems and devices.
