Do you have any users yet? What’s your target size manufacturing company? I’ve been in the industrial software space for a while, and at least for large MFG, you only see the major players, with SAP being the most common. There is this “UNS” concept that’s been around for 5ish years now and has caught steam (unified namespace, google and you’ll find it). It has holes from a technical standpoint, but it will get attention if you can show how it works with factory data in a UNS. Happy to help if i can. I work at a company that does industrial dataops now, focused on getting shop floor data in/out of the factory with context.

In some cases yes, controllers are adding in MQTT support directly or SparkplugB.

It works in simple cases, but the lack of transactions & ability to control what and how often you're reading from the client side, can create challenges.

MQTT is being used a lot more in recent years inside of factories for sharing data between machines. Historically it's been used in Oil & Gas for SCADA (getting data from remote well sites).

10+ years ago we added it to Kepware (OPC server) and streamed tag values to "the cloud". I was at a conference giving a presentation on it when Arlen Nipper, one of the creators of MQTT, came up after the presentation and said I did a "decent job". It was humbling :). Fast forward to today, and we have a new company (HighByte) modeling factory data at the edge and sending it via MQTT, SparkplugB (protocol over MQTT), direct to S3, Azure Blob, etc, etc.

All that to say, MQTT is a big driver in Industry 4.0, and it's cool to see it so heavily used all these years later.
