The aim of the session is to show how a modern and resource-saving industrial IoT architecture can be built with the help of MQTT Sparkplug, HiveMQ and InfluxDB. Starting with challenges in classic OT/IT systems, the concepts of Sparkplug will be explained, and the session will cover how they can be implemented with MQTT to fulfill requirements for a modern IIoT solution. Attendees will also learn the entire setup process.
