How to Build Rock-Solid Real-Time Data Pipelines from the Factory Floor IoT

The article outlines a factory-floor IoT architecture for automotive manufacturing that uses MQTT, OPC UA, and edge processing to move data reliably in real time.

It recommends separating telemetry from genealogy data so fast operational signals and full traceability records can be handled differently.

Edge systems and broker persistence help the pipeline survive noisy networks, downtime, and intermittent machine connectivity.

The approach supports dependable MES and SCADA integration while keeping production continuity and product history intact.
