MQTT - Invented for SCADA, Adopted by IT, Solving Digital Transformation Today

Although MQTT was first invented for efficient SCADA communications and decoupling of data 20 years ago, it has been adopted by cloud service providers to become a dominant cloud IIoT messaging technology. Using a live SCADA infrastructure, we'll share new Ignition module capabilities, new wireless technologies, and Ignition's native Data Ops tooling to demonstrate how efficiently OT data is shared across the entire enterprise. Whether you are tasked with implementing digital transformation strategies, adopting big data analytics, machine learning, artificial intelligence, or simply looking to incorporate wireless sensors into Ignition cost-effectively, this session will provide a path forward for your projects.
