EMQ Demonstrates Edge-Cloud Data Solutions at Smart Manufacturing for Automotive Event
Morgan Hill, CA, September 30, 2024 – EMQ, a global leader in edge-cloud connectivity and data solutions, recently attended and presented at the Smart Manufacturing for Automotive event in Detroit, Michigan.
EMQ joined engineers and thought leaders from major automotive brands including General Motors, Ford, Toyota, Volvo, and Rivian to discuss the future of automotive manufacturing. EMQ’s Product Marketing Manager, Brandon Ruiz, delivered insightful presentations on how the MQTT protocol and Unified Namespace (UNS) are driving production efficiency and helping manufacturers reduce costs across the automotive industry.
Smart Manufacturing: Unified Data Solution from Edge to Cloud
EMQ offers comprehensive data solutions at both the edge and cloud levels, leveraging MQTT and UNS to equip manufacturers with unified data systems in the era of Industry 4.0.
At the edge, EMQ offers NeuronEX, an industrial gateway software that simplifies protocol translation. NeuronEX connects devices using various industrial protocols (e.g., OPC-UA, Sparkplug, Modbus, and Siemens S7) into a unified system, enabling real-time data collection and interaction with legacy systems. It supports over 100 common industrial protocols.
In the cloud, EMQ’s flagship product, the EMQX Platform, delivers scalable and secure MQTT messaging. It is ideal for managing millions of connected devices and their data streams. With support for more than 40 databases and data analysis tools, EMQX serves as a central hub for bringing diverse device data into various or unified data systems.
MQTT, a lightweight messaging protocol designed for data exchanges between connected devices, is widely used in IoT applications due to its low bandwidth consumption and scalability. EMQ’s entire product suite is built around the MQTT protocol, ensuring full support and optimal performance.
UNS (Unified Namespace) is a standardized data architecture that creates a unified space for real-time industrial data, helping break down data silos and providing seamless data access across systems. EMQ products enable companies to implement UNS, manage data from a wide range of devices and systems, and establish a single source of truth for their entire industrial environment.
How EMQ's Edge-Cloud Solution Benefit Companies:
- Boost Production Efficiency: With NeuronEX at the edge, companies can rapidly process data from various devices using different protocols, leading to improved automation and minimized downtime.
- Streamline Data Integration: The UNS structure ensures that real-time data from machines, devices, and software systems is always accessible and properly structured for analysis and decision-making.
- Scalable Cloud Solutions: The EMQX Platform can scale to manage millions of connected devices, ensuring consistent data management across operations and regions.
