Introduction

Alleantia’s IOT SCADA Software implements easily complete supervisory and control systems for industrial devices, single machine and sensors. Expandable without programming, with a native Web architecture and extended functionalities of integrazione for external applications.

Through MQTT Service , IoT SCADA application can publish data collected from different devices and sensors on a listening MQTT broker. The exchange through MQTT protocol happens according to publish/subscribe type, indicating with publisher a device that can publish the data on a specific broker, and subscriber a device that can “subscribe” to a broker to receive different messages from the publishers.

For the purpose of the integration with WISE-PaaS/EdgeSense, sensor data that collected by Alleantia’s IOT SCADA software can publish to MQTT broker for WISEAgent Alleantia-Plugin to subscribe, after WISEAgent receive the data, it will be transfer them to WISE-PaaS/EdgeSense.
