Build a more resilient, responsive grid with real-time operational data from the edge

Power and energy

Legacy systems can’t keep up with modern energy demands

You’re managing complex assets — from substations and transformers to solar arrays and wind turbines — across remote and distributed locations. But outdated polling architectures, siloed data, and slow communication make real-time monitoring and optimization nearly impossible.

As the grid evolves, you need a faster, smarter way to connect data from the field to the systems that run your operations.

Cirrus Link provides the modern architecture energy operators need

We co-created MQTT and developed Sparkplug, the open-source protocol stack designed for secure, efficient, and structured OT data movement.

With Cirrus Link’s MQTT modules for Ignition, power providers, utilities, and energy innovators can securely publish data from field devices, SCADA, and control systems — and make that data instantly usable by analytics, control centers, and cloud platforms.

A secure, scalable IIoT architecture for distributed energy systems

Push intelligence to the edge

Use MQTT Transmission on remote assets to send only relevant, real-time updates — reducing bandwidth use and improving visibility.

Structure and standardize your data

Leverage Sparkplug to enable automatic discovery, state awareness, and integration with central platforms or DERMS.

Enable analytics, AI, and system-wide optimization

Easily connect to AWS, Azure, or Snowflake for forecasting, load balancing, predictive maintenance, and outage prevention.

Avoid downtime, delays, and vendor lock-in

Don’t settle for patchwork solutions or locked-down legacy vendors. Cirrus Link’s MQTT-based architecture helps you unify, secure, and scale your data infrastructure — all while future-proofing your operations.

From grid edge to control room — get the data you need, when you need it

Connect and manage distributed assets at scale

Event-driven data reduces latency and network load

Redundancy, Store & Forward, and Sparkplug-native reliability

Easily deploy on Ignition Gateway or Edge
