Drive smart manufacturing and connected operations with real-time, contextualized OT data

Automotive and transportation industry

Disconnected systems stall your progress

Automotive and transportation manufacturing demands precision, speed, and coordination across thousands of machines, lines, and suppliers. But traditional architectures — with their siloed data, vendor lock-in, and slow communication — create blind spots and bottlenecks on the path to Industry 4.0.

You need an open, scalable way to unify data across plants and systems — without ripping and replacing your infrastructure.

Cirrus Link delivers the foundation for smart, connected manufacturing

We co-invented MQTT and created Sparkplug, the open standard built specifically for industrial data. These technologies power secure, event-driven, and self-aware communication between your equipment, control systems, and enterprise applications.

With Cirrus Link’s MQTT modules for Ignition, you can streamline how you collect, organize, and act on OT data — from the plant floor to the cloud.

Build a real-time data infrastructure that keeps you in the fast lane

Connect machines and lines across facilities

Use MQTT to publish only real-time, meaningful data updates — improving bandwidth, reducing latency, and eliminating polling overhead.

Enable plug-and-play integration with Sparkplug

Add context and structure to your data automatically. Sparkplug standardizes tag naming, hierarchy, and state awareness for seamless interoperability.

Unify visibility and analytics at the enterprise level

Bridge your data into Snowflake, AWS, or Azure for quality analytics, OEE insights, traceability, and supply chain optimization — all with no custom code.

Avoid the pitfalls of patchwork data systems

Legacy architectures increase costs and complexity as you scale. With Cirrus Link, you get a future-ready data foundation that supports growth, innovation, and agility.
