White Paper: Industrial-strength MQTT/Sparkplug B

Building industrial MQTT networks at scale with edge computing

If you design industrial data systems for a living or are considering your own company's digital transformation, you may be wondering

  • How to provide sufficient scalability to deal with growing demand over time
  • How to ensure interoperability between participating systems
  • How to design for the security and stability of such a large network

This white paper helps you understand the power and the limitations of MQTT in answering these questions, and gives a step-by-step approach to creating a secure foundation for IIoT networks that scale up smoothly and operate reliably in support of mission-critical applications.

MQTT system

For system integrators, developers, engineers, and managers wondering what MQTT can do for them, this paper explains:

  • The fundamentals of the MQTT protocol
  • How the Sparkplug B specification adapts MQTT to industrial applications
  • How to establish and scale MQTT networks using industrial edge computing
