MQTT Adapter for AVEVA Connect

The FICUS MQTT Adapter enables direct data collection from machines using the MQTT protocol. Unlike conventional adapters, it functions as a built-in MQTT broker - removing the need for external broker dependencies. Once configured, the adapter can securely push machine data to AVEVA Connect as streams, allowing seamless integration with your cloud-based analytics.
