IIoT & Edge Computing FAQs
Why use MQTT instead of traditional OPC UA for IIoT applications?
MQTT uses a lightweight publish/subscribe model that is significantly more bandwidth-efficient than polling protocols like Modbus or continuous OPC UA connections. It excels over cellular WAN connections and naturally supports store-and-forward buffering during network dropouts.
Can IIoT systems integrate with older, non-networked legacy machines?
Yes. We install non-invasive auxiliary sensors (such as current transducers on motor lines, optical counters on output chutes, or standalone vibration pick-ups) wired to an edge gateway to bring legacy machinery into modern IIoT dashboards.
