MQTT + Sparkplug = 'Plug & Play' IIoT

Sparkplug connects operational technology and information technology with a common, vendor-neutral communication standard

The open standard for interoperable Industrial IoT communications

Sparkplug is an open Industrial IoT (IIoT) specification that standardizes how devices, gateways, and applications communicate using MQTT. By defining a common data model and messaging behavior, Sparkplug enables seamless interoperability, reliable real-time data exchange, and simplified integration across industrial systems.

WHY STRUGGLE WITH COMPLICATED ARCHITECTURES AND CUSTOM CONNECTIONS?

SPARKPLUG CUTS THE COMPLEXITY AND ELIMINATES THE MESS!
