The IIoT Ready PLC- Your journey from the edge to the cloud
DMC has developed an IoT solution for connecting Siemens PLCs to the Cloud using a secure, bidirectional communication featuring the widely accepted MQTT protocol.  This solution allows a user to monitor and manage equipment in the field from a secure web page.  Primary use cases are distributed systems using cellular connections, but the solution works inside the factory as well.  This presentation will outline the solution as well as show examples of actual deployments in the field.

Location

Ford Field,
