Summary:

Pain point : Not being able to optimize energy usage and contribute to an organization’s sustainability project in smart manufacturing due to the increased use of proprietary and legacy software and devices. Creating an efficient energy management system inside of a smart manufacturing setup will be challenging. MQTT on the Edge or on the Cloud can solve this problem. MQTT facilitates communication of data from various devices to each other, edge gateways, data centers, and the cloud MQTT plays a major role in enabling efficient transmission of data with minimal bandwidth usage. Sparkplug enhances MQTT’s usability in industrial environments. Covers examples of how real-time monitoring and control of various manufacturing processes allow for the optimization of energy consumption. Manufacturers can not only improve energy consumption at communication but can also build a system to monitor an energy management system in an optimal way via real-time remote monitoring and control.
