What’s best for IIoT: An integration hub or an MQTT broker?
An MQTT broker is the middleware that manages message routing within and across factories and edge computing environments. But if you have a complex environment, such as a manufacturing floor, an energy production facility, etc., you will need more than a simple MQTT broker to implement manufacturing feedback loops, fully utilize IT/OT convergence benefits, and leverage machine learning, big data analytics, etc. Are you agree? More about this topic, in an article from FairCom that we published this week on iiot-world.com, here.
An executive guide to the net-zero sustainability journey
Sustainability has gone mainstream. In the U.S. in 2020, 90% of companies in the S&P 500 index?reported on their sustainability progress, whereas just around 20% did so in 2011. COVID-19 has fueled the sustainable financing trend, with 85% of institutional investors today seeking environmental, social, and governance (ESG)-oriented hedge funds. Mainstream investors increasingly believe that ESG metrics have a direct impact on risk and return. There is strong evidence that sustainable performance is consistent with equal or better returns for investors, according to Jana Gerber?&?Khaled Fakhuri that published an executive guide to the net-zero sustainability journey. This is the link to the full article.

Helping manufacturers digitally transform leveraging data.
2 年Carolina Rudinschi This is a great blog post. I would add support for the major cloud vendors as many of their services are more efficient than the open protocols. A key component of integrating data is the recognition that data contextualization is unique to the use case of the data. Thank you for sharing with the community. #highbyte

2 年Spot on! You need an integration hub, such as Highbyte Intelligence hub, and in conjunction with MQTT this is a really powerful integration architecture. So you need both, “and”, not “or”.?

2 年There is going to be difference of opinions. I side with the HUB.

2 年It is odd to see ThingWorx on the right of the "robust integration Hub with JMS, REST, JSON, csv, and SQL. I believe that you are undervaluing the potential of ThingWorx including the heart of an Integration Hub. In addition, to characterize MQTT as "simple" with manufacturing potentially needing more for feedback, analytics, etc is also potentially selling MQTT short. Just 2 knee jerk reactions.
