Smart manufacturing is driving the manufacturing industry to modernize its software infrastructure. Whether you call it Industry 4.0 or the Industrial Internet of Things, manufacturing is in the midst of a significant transformation. However, successful transition to the next generation of manufacturing requires the adoption of new technologies that can integrate outdated existing systems with modern new systems.

In this whitepaper you'll learn how MQTT can serve as a key new technology for developing the modern connected factory. It will explore:

• What is driving businesses to modernize their plants and manufacturing processes
• Four goals and four levels of modernization
• The two types of manufacturing software modernization projects: connection within a single factory and connection between multiple factories
• How the MQTT messaging protocol can be used for new messaging systems within a factory and used to implement intra-factory communication between the different areas and systems
• The benefits of HiveMQ: an enterprise MQTT platform for smart manufacturing
