New Partnership and Product Offering

As your applications grows or you want the benefit and support of a scalable enterprise class MQTT Broker. Our new product offering bundles multiple levels of HiveMQ’s MQTT Broker technology with products.

The HiveMQ Broker can be set up to run as a default application (command window) or as a service. 


Tatsoft’s FrameworX combined with HiveMQ is built to address some of the key technical challenges organizations face when building new Industrial Internet of Things applications, including:

  • Building reliable and scalable business critical IIoT applications
  • Fast data delivery to meet the expectations of end users for responsive IIoT products
  • Reduced operational costs through the efficient utilization of hardware, network, and cloud resources
  • Securely Integrating IIoT data into existing enterprise systems
  • Connecting to Industrial Devices and Modeling your Data

Pre-Installation Requirements

To install HiveMQ on Windows, Linux or MacOS you need to meet the following requirements:

  • At least 4GB of RAM. (information available at the HiveMQ website).
  • 4 or more CPUs. (information available at the HiveMQ website).
  • 100GB or more free disk space (information available at the HiveMQ website).
  • Java Runtime Environment 11 or newer, see it available in HERE.

6. Restart your system.


Notes about software platform embedded broker

Our software platform has a built-in MQTT Broker (TMQTTBroker), intended to supply a simple out-of-box solution for the development environment or embedded edge devices. That tools does not have the administration features available at HiveMQ broker, therefore for production and enterprise environments we recommend the HiveMQ broker instead of the embedded one.

Designing an Edge to Cloud Architecture for IIoT

In this webinar, experts from Tatsoft and HiveMQ discussed the key components of a modern edge to cloud IIoT architecture, identified key challenges to its implementation, and demonstrated Tatsoft’s recent product release of FactoryWork and FactoryStudio, which includes support for MQTT and Sparkplug.
