### See how system integrators in water/wastewater, natural gas production, and manufacturing leveraged MQTT and industrial edge devices to securely access and use key data.

If your goal is to get useful data from field devices and legacy systems, you’ve probably found that putting together an IIoT system is complicated, requiring many OT and IT devices, software, and protocols.

But these 3 real-world case studies show how two tools—the MQTT communications protocol and industrial edge devices—can simplify your IIoT project.

### Join us for another episode of IntegrateLive! dedicated to the MQTT Sparkplug specification.

Kick off the new year with a discussion led by the Sparkplug Working Group in the [first IntegrateLive! event of 2023](https://www.integratelive.com/posts/mqtt-sparkplug-special-edition-29853581). With the recent release of Sparkplug 3.0, this special edition of IntegrateLive! will offer more insight and in-depth conversation on the new spec and how to choose your next Sparkplug-compliant solution.

Opto 22 is a proud member of this Eclipse Foundation group, which is dedicated to educating others on the benefits of MQTT and Sparkplug. The [Sparkplug Working Group](https://sparkplug.eclipse.org/) directly impacts the future success of hundreds of thousands of automation projects by enabling "plug and play" IIoT!

### Learn more about automation products and IIoT technologies through the Interactive Demo section on the website.

Many people benefit from hands-on learning, which is why we've always maintained a section of interactive resources on the Opto 22 website. If you haven't tried it yourself, take a few minutes to point, click, and discover some new product features and functions.

These website demos cover advanced edge computing and IIoT concepts using *groov* EPIC and RIO products, building custom HMIs with *groov* View, and even basic automation 101 concepts like PID turning.

Here are some website demos you can explore.

### A new section just added to the Opto 22 Developer site supports the latest 3.0.0 release of the Opto 22 CODESYS library package.

If you haven't visited [developer.opto22.com](http://developer.opto22.com/) in awhile, you'll want to spend some time reviewing our latest technical guides and resources. The site gets a lot of traffic from developers working with groov EPIC, SNAP PACs, Node-RED, and even industrial I/O for Raspberry Pi. 

Since all Opto 22 products are designed on open standards, you have a variety of ways to interact with them and integrate with other systems. The developer site helps you do that.

Now we've added a section dedicated to helping you program CODESYS on *groov* EPIC controllers.

### Hear from Evo Integration as their success with *groov* RIO projects has earned them IoT OptoPartner status.

Meet our newest member of the OptoPartner program: Evo Integration, "the evolution of integration today." 

Centrally located in eastern Pennsylvania, Evo Integration is a one-stop shop for all of your automation, communication, and electrical needs.  Their team recently completed a project in the Food & Beverage industry, where they used *groov* RIO, MQTT, and OPC UA technologies to monitor remote location storage. This impressive application got the attention of the Opto team of engineers, and led to inviting Evo to become an IoT Certified OptoPartner.

### Hear from OptoPartner 4IR Solutions in this guest blog post about the ideal device for running Ignition Edge software.

The [Ignition](https://inductiveautomation.com/ignition/) platform by [Inductive Automation](https://inductiveautomation.com/) provides a modern, robust, and flexible development environment for building SCADA, IIoT, and Industry 4.0 applications in support of digital transformation initiatives.

Ignition's scalable architecture makes it a perfect solution for building both fully on-premises applications as well as "hybrid cloud" applications that are distributed across both the cloud and the edge. In the industrial automation world, most cloud-enabled solutions still require an on-premises component to allow control of equipment and data buffering in the event of connectivity issues. Ignition provides a purpose-built [Ignition Edge](https://inductiveautomation.com/ignition/edge) product suite for this use case, which must be deployed on a complementary hardware platform that is appropriate for running plant-floor applications.

Let's consider for a moment what an ideal device for running Ignition Edge might look like—our hypothetical Ignition Edge "Dream Machine."

### Cost-effective automation and internet of things technologies save time and yield better control.

California-based Azcal Management farms a wide variety of crops in drought-prone conditions. Managing water use and monitoring pumps is crucial for their operations to succeed and means walking a fine line between providing just enough water, but not too little.

Azcal farm managers made the decision to automate their manual processes to keep up with demand and avoid costly breakdowns, repairs, or damaged crops. Finding a system integrator in the agriculture field market was challenging, but after meeting with John WIlliamson of Farm Data Systems (FDS), they realized the new edge technology that FDS offered could bring their farming operations into the internet of things.

It was time for an end-to-end field monitoring and automation solution for crop irrigation management.
