MQTT / Sparkplug B + Ignite Lean

Available now

The open pub/sub standard for the modern smart factory. One endpoint to ingest from any Sparkplug-compliant edge.

MQTT / Sparkplug B

How the Connection Works

Machine / PLCcycle, state, faults
MQTT / Sparkplug BSCADA / edge
MQTT / Sparkplug B
Ignite Leaningest + map tags
Downtime on the floor map
Live OEE + cycle time
Auto work orders

How It Works

  1. 1Sparkplug B standardizes how edge devices publish to an MQTT broker.
  2. 2Run the Ignite Lean mqtt-bridge service against your broker - one instance covers every compliant edge.
  3. 3See integrations/mqtt-bridge/README.md for deploy options (Fly, Railway, plant mini-PC).

Recommended Workflows

How MQTT / Sparkplug B works best with Ignite Lean. These are recommended patterns: Ignite Lean fires the trigger, and how MQTT / Sparkplug B routes it (which work group, which device, which rule) is configured to your IT setup.

One pipe, every device
Trigger Any Sparkplug or OPC-UA edge publishes a tag
  1. 1Your broker or edge agent forwards the message to the Ignite Lean ingest endpoint.
  2. 2Ignite Lean maps the tag to a station and a metric.
  3. 3Cycle, state, and downtime data drive the floor map, OEE, and auto work orders.
Build the pipe once and add machines without new integration work each time.
