Knowledge Session: MQTT: Connecting the Factory of the Future

By Remco Kort (Senior Platform Ambassador)

Date: 20 October 2026 at 12:30 – 13:30

Production lines share data in real time. Systems act on it without waiting for a human. Sensors publish their readings, machines receive their instructions, and the equipment on your shop floor talks directly to the software that runs your business. MQTT is the protocol that makes that happen. In this knowledge session we start with new powerful use cases, we dive into how the protocol actually works — broker, topics, publish/subscribe, quality of service — and then show you how to set it up and use it in the Thinkwise Platform.
 
If you build applications: see how to connect a broker, subscribe to topics, and turn incoming messages into data and logic inside your own Thinkwise application.
 
If you run the business: MQTT is now embedded directly in the Thinkwise Platform, strengthening our Manufacturing Execution System capabilities. One integrated ERP/MES application — instead of a patchwork of interfaces between the office and the factory floor.
Join us if you want to take your Thinkwise application beyond the office and connect it straight to machines and sensors.
 
Sign up now and bring your questions — we'll end with a live demo.
