Here are some quick highlights from MTNA's application story:
- MTNA proved their concept using a single machine and a Raspberry Pi before deploying industrial-grade groov RIO units across multiple machines at a cost of approximately $1,000 per machine.
- Using MQTT Sparkplug and a unified namespace architecture, they standardized data from dozens of machines with different controllers and protocols, achieving their "single pane of glass" vision with real-time visibility across all four facilities.
- Beyond eliminating manual logging, MTNA created a scalable digital infrastructure that positions them for predictive analytics, machine learning and future IIoT initiatives.
