Simmtronic, an independent specialist manufacturer of fully intelligent lighting control systems, announce a powerful and proven MQTT solution

Simmtronic’s smart building solution with MQTT: published data

Intelligent building service providers, manufacturers and contractors are often attempting to create and integrate features that make a building “smart.” The centre of what it means to be smart is anchored in the capabilities and benefits given to the building’s users. Think facilities management, information compilation, and system automations that make workers more effective and the environment safer.

Communication technology is essential to enable a building’s devices to ‘talk’ with one another. Smart buildings connect with the people, systems, and external details around them. They learn from prior experiences and real-time data and adjust to the requirements of the individuals and the organisations within them. Technology allowing data capture, observation and control is the new standard for smart buildings.

Aggregation comparison structure of Simmtronic’s MQTT architecture verses ‘typical’ MQTT architecture. Simmtronic’s solution is tailored to provide rapid MQTT data updates for every lighting asset.

MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) is an ISO Standard Network Protocol particularly suited to smart technology and the underlying need to efficiently exchange vast amounts of dynamic building-wide status information, to achieve enhanced building performance and utilisation.

“All of Simmtronic’s major customers are now asking for new and refit lighting controls to be ‘smart building enabled. So, Simmtronic has developed software that automatically generates asset names to suit a customer’s chosen naming scheme and nearly all our customers rely on this to make their smart building deployments affordable,” says Stephen Ades, Simmtronic Senior Software Engineer.

Simmtronic’s Powerful and Proven MQTT Solution comprises:

• Comprehensive Data Analysis

• Simmtronic Data Aggregation Architecture which enables rapid data provision

• Hosted on Robust Simmtronic SPC.2000 Control Processor with continuous operation

• Simmtronic MQTT Software Model publishes data directly without third party gateways

Key Benefits of MQTT

• MQTT is a lightweight protocol designed for responsive real-time rich data updates in web-like structures that software engineers can most efficiently manipulate. Its event-oriented data flows reduce update times to seconds and publishes events immediately when anything happens

• MQTT is widely adopted and supported

• MQTT features Internet-style data encoding that makes the data readily accessible to programmers with Database/IT skills
