AWS recently announced AWS IoT SiteWise, a managed service that makes it easy to store, organize and monitor data from industrial equipment (OT data). AWS IoT SiteWise takes OT data and puts it into a standard interface so any third-party application can access the data for immediate AI, predictive maintenance, and other analytics. One of…
Read MoreAWS Blog Post: Manufacturing industries only realize 20 to 30 percent of the value of their data. By consistently leveraging the value of their data, manufacturing companies could reduce product development costs by up to 50 percent and operating costs by up to 25 percent, while increasing their gross margins by one third[1]. Industrial IoT…
Read MoreArticle published in International Society of Automation: “Although there are certainly challenges to improving the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and creating real digital transformation, today there are solid tools that can really help us. And some of this work is becoming easier than ever. For example, web browsers and cell phones are very easy…
Read MorePodcast by IoT for All: “In this episode of the IoT For All Podcast, we sit down with the co-creator of MQTT and President of Cirrus Link Solutions, Arlen Nipper, to talk about MQTT and its role in the industrial sector. To kick off the episode, Arlen shared his own background and the road that led…
Read MoreArticle published in Industrial IoT News: “One of the primary pain points in Industrial IoT (IIoT) is disparate systems with both modern and legacy assets. Companies in any industry ranging from oil and gas to manufacturing can hardly imagine a world where they can choose any vendor’s hardware, plug it into their network, and have…
Read MoreIIoT edge gateway software and MQTT Server are leading the Fourth Industrial Revolution, which is the application of digital technologies and advanced analytics to transform operations, whether in product industries, in end-to-end supply chains, or in manufacturing. Consulting firm McKinsey & Company scanned over 1,000 sites around the world to find the companies that have…
Read MoreEdge computing involves multiple interface points over a wide range of devices and locations. This infrastructure must remain secure to avoid any breach of data during transfer or storage. Before any network implementation occurs, cyber security for each device and interface within the edge computing network is critical. In enterprise level IIOT applications, the network…

Cirrus Link Solutions has made it easy to implement an enterprise-wide system by creating a how-to video series. Here is what is available to view: In What is MQTT: Implementing MQTT in Ignition: Video 1, President and CTO Arlen…
Read MoreIIoT Edge Gateway Software from Cirrus Link Solutions is designed to bridge the gap between OT and IT by standardizing operational data using MQTT / Sparkplug technology and transmitting it into the cloud through our four Cloud Injector Modules. With the operational data from your Edge Devices in the cloud, you can harness the power…
Read MoreIIoT Edge Gateway Software from Cirrus Link Solutions allows you to build affordable and scalable enterprise-wide systems using Ignition Edge and Onboard devices. Ignition Edge MQTT by Cirrus Link is software that turns virtually any embedded PC or field device, such as an industrial PC or even a Raspberry Pi, into a lightweight, MQTT-enabled, edge…
Read MoreCirrus Link at its foundation has been enabling Edge Devices for over 20 years with our direct involvement in the invention of the MQTT protocol. MQTT is the standard protocol used for IoT solutions. MQTT is a simple, lightweight, publish-and-subscribe protocol that was open-sourced by the Eclipse Foundation under the PAHU project name, and became an…
Read MoreWhen considering edge computing IoT architectures, many individuals allow expedience and technology to drive their decisions. This can lead to disaster. A successful edge computing solution requires careful consideration of end goals. Each component of your architecture must perform and deliver according to your needs. Since the amount of IoT-generated data rapidly increases, selecting the…
