Overview
Edge to Cloud using MQTT refers to a software architecture that leverages the MQTT protocol for efficient data transfer from edge devices to cloud systems. This architecture supports the interoperability of components, promoting a self-service approach and enabling processing at the edge level while allowing for hybrid storage solutions. This model is scalable, responsive, and adheres to NERC-CIP network security standards for reliable data communication. The architecture avoids duplicating data definitions and hard-coded data mappings, ensuring a resilient and secure framework that reduces maintenance efforts.

Canary and MQTT
We added the Store-and-Forward functionality when our software platform publishes data to the Canary Historian or an MQTT Broker, which means we temporarily store the data of a message for transmission to its destination at a later time in case the network is not accessible for any reason.
This feature is crucial in data collection projects, where the data is sent to a remote repository.
Architecture Requirements for Edge to Cloud Applications
Open
- Open technologies → Interchangeability of components
- Not tied into any specific vendor solution
- High Flexibility
- Enables self-service approach
Distributed and Secure
- Allows processing at Edge Devices
- Allows Hybrid storage (edge and on-premise historians)
- High scalability and responsiveness
- Comply with NERC-CIP network security standards
Reliable
- Avoids duplication of data definition
- Avoids hard-coded data mappings
- Resilient and secure architecture
- Reduces maintenance efforts
Distributed Data Steward
The data governance role, ensuring the collection, quality, and fitness of the data assets, including its metadata definition, is distributed across multiple systems or sites, but abides by the Universal Namespace conventions defined within the corporation.
