1. MQTT in the Internet of Things Vatsal Shah | Founder & CEO, Litmus Automation Internet of Things World June 16th-18th, 2014 | Palo Alto, USA @vatsal1212 @LAutomation
2. Founder | CEO of Litmus Automation Vatsal Shah Loves IoT Industrial Automation guy @vatsal1212 vatsal@litmusautomation.com OSS supporter
3. MQTT as an IoT Protocol. Features of MQTT. MQTT: Myths vs. Reality. MQTT: Practical Implementations. Agenda
4. What is the talk of the town?
5. 3,000,000,000 User Interfaces by 2022. 14,000,000,000 Connected Devices. Billion Fourth Industrial Revolution Sources: Bosch Blog 2014, Machina Research, 2014 and Cisco VNI Mobile Forecast Highlights 2012-2017
6. Lets look at how things TALK. Their Language = Protocol Speak/listen only when needed Able to communicate with all Avoid getting drained by talking Ideal Communication Able to talk in all situations
7. The Battlefield of Protocols. Cluttered & No Single Direction HTTP | AMQP | MQTT | XMPP | Others
8. Foundation and Community. Late 1990s Aug 2010 Nov 2011 Feb 2013 Invented by IBM and Eurotech Protocol spec published royalty-free Joined hands with Eclipse M2M group Proposed as an OASIS standard
9. MQTT Message Queuing Telemetry Transport Publish Subscribe MQTT Broker Simple, Asynchronous (“push”) delivery of messages through Pub/Sub Architecture Mob Apps Dashboard System Other devices Data Storage Enterprise Applications Different Devices and Applications 1-1 , 1 - N or N – 1 flexible Pub/Sub structure
10. Lightweight (network) Binary Protocol | Minimum Overhead | 2 bytes
11. Low bandwidth | Copes with Slow N/W Made for Unreliable Networks
12. Lightweight (CPU) Large & Small devices | Many languages
13. Quality of Service Levels Publisher Subscriber Publish Publish Delete Message QoS 0: At most once Fire and Forget Loop Broker Publish
14. Quality of Service Levels Publisher Subscriber Publish Publish Delete Message QoS 1: At least once Reliable mode Loop Broker Publish + PubAck Store Message Store Delete
15. Quality of Service Levels Publisher Subscriber Publish Publish Delete Message QoS 2: Exactly once Safest but slowest Loop Broker Publish + PubRec + PubRel + PubComp Store Message Store Delete Pub Complete
16. 1 { 2 mqtt.connect(); 3 mqtt.publish(); 4 mqtt.subscribe(); 5 mqtt.unsubscribe(); 6 mqtt.disconnect(); 7 } 8 9 Simple Simple to implement | No SDK nightmares
17. Wildcard Subscription Plant 1 Machine 1 Machine 2 Plant 1 Machine 1 Machine 2 Plant 1 / # Plant 1 / Machine 1 / + Plant 1 / + / Database Plant 1 Machine 1 Machine 2 Multiple subscriptions | Easy client design
18. Last Will and Testament Broker caches & publishes on death
19. MQTT: Myths vs. Reality
20. Broker is the Single Point of Failure Broker Cluster | Replication of states | Failover Myth1
21. Security in MQTT is difficult SSL / TLS | Application layer | Privacy policies Made for devices Myth2
22. MQTT Payload Agnostic is an issue Big advantage for devices | Adaptability Myth3
23. MQTT is not Scalable ` Myth4 Horizontal | Vertical | Across Datacenters
24. Getting off the ground: MQTT Use Cases Immobile: Factory Floor | Mobile: Container
25. Challenges Immobile: Factory Floor • Robust communication • Existing standards / Retrofitting • Large data chunk • Security is the primary concern Mobile: Container • Bandwidth , bandwidth , bandwidth • Small session length • Inaccuracy in sensor readings • Power
26. Factory Floor MQTT Broker Machine 1 Machine 2 Machine 3 Weather Station ERP System Inventory Mgt System LED Boards SCADA HMI MongoDB Database WiFi Ethernet 2G WiFi
27. Factory Floor MQTT Broker Machine 1 Machine 2 Modbus /RS485 CPU Modbus /RS485 CPU PubSub PubSub Protocol Mapping Protocol Mapping
28. Factory Floor: Machine 1 Temperature Plant / Machine 1 / Temp_serial# Counter Plant / Machine 1 / Counter_serial# Counter Set Plant / Machine 1 / Counter_control_Serial# Stop Plant / Machine 1 / Stop_serial# Logs Plant / Machine 1 / Logs_serial# Consumption Plant / Machine 1 / Consumption_serial# Power Plant / Machine 1 / Power_serial# QoS 1 QoS 2 QoS 2 Sensor to Topic mapping (Existing Modbus) QoS 0 QoS 1 QoS 1 QoS 2
29. Perishable goods tracking MQTT Broker SCM System Goods health logic Android application Real-time dashboard (LoopBoards) Cassandra Database 2G / 3G
30. Perishable goods tracking MQTT Broker Truck 1 CANBus mapping CPU 2G / 3G Temperature Humidity Precise Location Data Storage
31. Let’s choose the best for them. Things We didn’t have a choice to customize our language.
