Simplify Real-Time Data Updates with the FieldLogger
We are excited to share that an updated version of the FieldLogger from Novus Automation, which now includes native support for data transfer via the MQTT protocol. MQTT is one of the most widely used protocols in Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) solutions, and this enhanced FieldLogger update allows data collected by the device to be published directly to local or cloud-based MQTT brokers. This significantly streamlines integration with modern monitoring and analytics platforms.
With the introduction of MQTT, the FieldLogger now offers even greater flexibility for applications requiring efficient and reliable communication, even over low-bandwidth or intermittent networks. This protocol was chosen for its lightweight nature and high efficiency in real-time data transmission—ideal characteristics for industrial environments that demand robustness and continuous connectivity.
Key Benefits Of The New Version:
- Real-time data transmission for immediate updates
- Direct integration with MQTT brokers such as Mosquitto, AWS, and others
- Improved compatibility with IIoT platforms and SCADA systems for quicker startup and deployment
With MQTT support, the FieldLogger becomes an even more versatile solution for integrators, OEMs, and engineers working with automation and process digitalization.
