How to connect SparkplugB with UMH Core

In this demo, we walk you through how to connect Ignition with SparkplugB to the Unified Namespace (UNS) in UMH Core. You’ll learn how to set up bridges, subscribe to device groups, and monitor real-time data flow - all within minutes.

This session covers:

• Setting up Ignition and publishing to the MQTT broker
• Creating and configuring a read bridge in UMH Core
• Subscribing to device groups (e.g., SIM devices)
• Monitoring real-time data through the topic browser
• Options for extending the flow to databases, MQTT brokers, or custom modeling

Highlights

• Simple Setup: Just provide the broker IP and establish the connection.
• Real-Time Monitoring: Watch latency, connectivity, and device messages instantly.
• Flexible Integration: Use standalone flows to bridge to databases like TimescaleDB or other MQTT brokers.
• Future Proof: Write bridges are on the roadmap, but standalone flows already unlock advanced use cases.
• Data Modeling: Shape and enforce patterns for structured, reliable data.
