Data Communication Based on MQTT in a Polymer Extrusion Process.

This work aims at building a flexible data communication structure for a polymer processing machine by employing a publisher-subscriber based protocol called Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT), which is operated over TCP/IP. Even when using conventional equipment, processing data can be measured and recorded by various devices anywhere through an Internet communication. A message-based protocol allows flexible communication that overcomes the shortcomings of the existing server-client protocol.
