The Data Challenge in Smart Manufacturing

Unlocking the value of factory data is the key to Industry 4.0, but unifying data from legacy OT and modern IT systems presents a major hurdle.

Fragmented OT & IT Systems
Data from PLCs and SCADA systems is siloed from MES and ERP systems, preventing a unified view of factory operations and business processes.
No Single Source of Truth
Without a Unified Namespace, different systems access conflicting data, making it impossible to build reliable, scalable smart factory applications.
Complex Cloud Integration
Connecting plant floor data to cloud services for analytics and storage requires complex custom code and multiple integration points, increasing costs and maintenance.

The AI-Native Data Hub for Smart Factories

EMQX connects every machine and system, creating a Unified Namespace that serves as the central, real-time data backbone for your entire manufacturing operation.

The AI-Native Data Hub for Smart Factories
Connect the Shop Floor
Use industrial gateways to convert OT protocols into standardized MQTT with Sparkplug B, publishing data from all your assets into the central data hub.
Unify with a Data Hub
EMQX acts as the core MQTT broker, creating a Unified Namespace that structures all data in a single, accessible location for any system to consume.
Integrate the Top Floor
Stream unified, contextualized data into any IT system. Connect to MES, ERP, SCADA, and cloud services to enable plant-wide visibility and analytics.

Why EMQX for Smart Manufacturing

Bridge OT and IT with a unified data hub designed for reliability, scalability, and seamless integration to boost OEE and enable advanced analytics.

Unified Namespace
Establish a single source of truth for all factory data. Organize your data by site, area, and line with ISA-95 standards for seamless integration.
MES & ERP Integration
Bridge the OT/IT divide. Stream real-time production data directly into your MES, ERP, and other business systems with our powerful integration engine.
Sparkplug B Ready
Achieve true plug-and-play interoperability for industrial assets. Standardize data models and maintain stateful awareness across all equipment.
Universal Connectivity
Connect any device with native support for 100+ protocols, including Modbus, OPC-UA, Siemens S7, BACnet, and more. No proprietary lock-in.
Software-Defined Platform
Run on any standard X86 or ARM server, on-premise or in the cloud. Eliminate the cost and complexity of proprietary hardware gateways.
AI-Powered Analytics
Feed clean, contextualized, and real-time data to your AI/ML models. Enable predictive maintenance, quality control, and advanced analytics.
Edge Computing
Process and analyze raw data directly at the edge. Reduce latency, save cloud costs, and enable faster local decision-making on the factory floor.
Hybrid Cloud Integration
Seamlessly stream manufacturing data to any cloud. Integrate with Kafka, data lakes, and analytics platforms like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.
Wide Adoption
EMQX products are widely used in various IoT scenarios globally, including connected cars, smart manufacturing, smart cities, and smart energy, etc.

Automotive Manufacturing

A top EV manufacturer deployed EMQX to create a unified data platform connecting thousands of devices across four major workshops. This enabled real-time monitoring, reduced data latency to 10ms, and provided the foundation for advanced analytics.

Unlock Key Manufacturing Use Cases

A unified data platform is the foundation for the most valuable Industry 4.0 applications.

Predictive Maintenance
Use real-time sensor data and AI to predict machine failures. Prevent unplanned downtime, reduce maintenance costs, and extend equipment life.
OEE Optimization
Boost factory output by tracking OEE in real time. Unify data on availability, performance, and quality to pinpoint and eliminate production bottlenecks.
Quality & Traceability
Detect quality deviations the moment they occur. Monitor production parameters in real-time to minimize scrap, ensure compliance, and enable full product traceability.
Supply Chain Visibility
Connect factory floor data with logistics systems. Create a transparent digital thread for end-to-end visibility from raw materials to finished goods.
Live Performance Monitoring
Visualize your entire production line with live dashboards. Monitor machine status, cycle times, and alerts to resolve issues before they impact production.
Smart Factory
Enable real-time data exchange and coordination between all devices, machines, and systems with MQTT and a Unified Namespace (UNS) to optimize processes.
