MQTT is the de-facto standard for IoT data movement due to its ability to connect millions of devices securely and reliably. However, during the implementation phase, companies may struggle to define the MQTT specification without a roadmap. Some specifications for MQTT-based communication already exist, such as MQTT Sparkplug, which is now successfully speeding adoption in […]

Manufacturing processes are becoming increasingly complex, with multiple components and subsystems that need to work together seamlessly for optimal efficiency. In this context, MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport), an open-source protocol originally designed for remote oil well use cases with limited connectivity, has emerged as a powerful tool for connecting operational technology (OT) systems to […]

Today customers expect higher quality products, consistency in production, improved operating practices, stricter adherence to safety and environmental regulations, and customized products. Therefore, to remain competitive, manufacturers must meet these growing expectations by tapping into process data produced by their legacy manufacturing systems. Doing so, they take advantage of modern advanced analytics systems, significantly improving […]

Data powers connected car services. From helping engineers understand how vehicles perform, to enabling predictive maintenance, to providing customers with information like road and traffic conditions, data is at the core. As such, it must be available in the right place and at the right time. I’ve helped many customers build the right technology stack […]

What is IIoT Data architecture? IIoT data architecture refers to the structured framework and processes for handling data within an Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) system. It involves the collection, storage, processing, and analysis of data generated by industrial devices and sensors to derive valuable insights and support decision-making. Why do you need an MQTT […]

Many IoT applications begin with a small number of connected devices and then grow over time to a substantial number of devices. Therefore, it is important for organizations to understand how their IoT infrastructure will scale to handle an increase in the number of connected devices and the corresponding message throughput. Failure to plan for […]

Over the years, Hydrocarbon Processing Industry (HPI) is being pushed towards sustainability and towards reduced dependency on fossil fuels given the global rise in energy prices and political uncertainties. COVID-19 has led to demand uncertainty and supply chain constraints. All of this has accelerated the HPI focus on Digitization, Industry 4.0 initiatives, and factory modernization. […]

MQTT was designed for the Internet of Things (although it wasn’t called that at the time) whereas HTTP was created to make documents available across the internet. They both run over TCP connections, and are both client-server in architecture, but MQTT allows messages to pass in both directions between clients and servers whereas HTTP servers […]
