Why Choose Our MQTT Expertise

Lightweight & efficient protocol

We use the MQTT protocol (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) to enable low-latency, low-bandwidth messaging ideal for IoT devices and industrial systems.

Just give us a call whenever you need expert IT advice or solutions and we'll put you through to one of our trained technicians in no time.

Scalable architecture 

From a handful of sensors to thousands of devices across multiple sites, we design your broker, topics, QoS and message-flows for performance and reliability.

Secure communications

TLS encryption, authentication & authorisation configured properly so your messaging channel remains safe.

We offer an exceptional level of service that includes vigilant cyber security solutions, which help to keep your systems protected before cyber criminals can get a foot in the door. As cyber-attack techniques evolve, so will your solutions, with regular automatic updates.

Boost productivity

We’ll help you to optimise your technology and make sure that all of your IT systems are up-to-date and in sync. This will ensure that your workforce stay productive whether they’re in the office, at home, or on the go.

Integration with business systems

Whether it’s connecting machine-status feeds into your dashboards, triggering alerts, or feeding databases/analytics, we link MQTT to your existing stack.

Industrial / manufacturing experience

As we already support sectors such as manufacturing, medical, legal & finance, we know what real-world reliability looks like under production conditions.

Use Case Example

Smart Factory Machine Monitoring

Each work-cell publishes its state (“running”, “idle”, “error”) to topic factory/line1/machine3/status

A web-based dashboard subscribes to all factory/+/+/status topics and displays live status.

Alerts are triggered if a machine is running with no operator for more than 5 minutes (which directly aligns with your internal alert scenario you’re working on).

Historical data is persisted into your SQL Server for shift-reporting and trend-analysis.
