Sparkplug VS OPC UA: Battle for the Factory
MQTT and Sparkplug are the present and future of industrial automation. Together, they provide application decoupling, simplicity, and out-of-the-box interoperability. Given the lightweight nature of MQTT, you can deploy Sparkplug-compliant devices and software components across the whole Edge-to-Cloud continuum. You will find them not only in gateways and SaaS platforms but also in constrained devices relying on microcontrollers.
