This session explores how to design future-proof manufacturing system architectures using MQTT Sparkplug B, Ignition Edge, and centralized Ignition servers. Attendees will learn how this modern approach enables scalable, resilient, and easily maintainable systems while dramatically reducing commissioning time. We’ll discuss best practices for network topology design using both UNS and CDM architectures, the trade-offs between single and distributed MQTT broker architectures, and strategies for efficient device onboarding. The presentation will provide actionable insights for engineers and architects aiming to modernize their manufacturing infrastructure without compromising reliability or long-term flexibility.
