EZLogix IIoT’s MQTT protocol for preventative maintenance and productivity monitoring

July 11, 2017

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) focuses on the interconnectivity and utilization of powerful data in a manufacturing environment. IIoT enables the acquisition and accessibility of important plant data at far greater speeds, security and reliability. IIoT incorporates machine learning and big data technology, harnessing the sensor data, machine-to-machine communication and automation technologies that have existed in industrial settings for years.

The driving philosophy behind the IIoT is that smart machines are better than humans at accurately, consistently capturing and communicating data. The driving force behind IIoT’s data communication is the industry accepted MQTT protocol. EZLogix built in MQTT protocol support, acts as a "bridge" between existing operational technologies within a plant, for example factory machines, and plant database networks, so valuable data can be shared reliably and securely for productivity monitoring and preventative maintenance.
