Moving Sensor Data from Factory Equipment Using MQTT, Modbus, and OPC-UA to the Cloud
Webinar Date: 2020-05-20 09:00:00 (Pacific Time)
In order to develop efficient IoT solutions, you need data — especially in the context of using AI and Machine Learning frameworks to help with determining predictive maintenance for your important industrial equipment.
In this webinar, we will review the various ways you can collect and store sensor data using powerful protocols such as MQTT, Modbus, OPC-UA, and even Kafka in your traditional or modern cloud-native deployments. Not only do these protocols help with higher data collection, but they also help reduce network bandwidth requirements leading to lower total cost of operations.
- Why the vast range of sensors and devices to collect data is too broad for any single commercial vendor to support
- How open source software technologies can let you connect a broader set of sensors & devices to time series data historians
- Potential combinations of open source software for IIoT Edge use cases
