Cirrus Link Announces Sparkplug SiteWise Bridge

Cirrus Link announced the availability of the Sparkplug SiteWise Bridge, which connects data from AWS IoT Core to AWS IoT SiteWise. Cirrus Link developed the Sparkplug SiteWise Bridge, a software widget that runs in AWS and converts OT data to IT data automatically with zero coding required. Customers can model a factory in Ignition, then automatically recreate the model in AWS SiteWise with the Sparkplug SiteWise bridge, saving time and effort and accelerating time-to-value. Customers can access a f********* from the AWS Marketplace.

After data is collected from the factory, MQTT Sparkplug normalizes and sends the data to AWS IoT Core. Then the Sparkplug SiteWise Bridge prepares the data for AWS IoT SiteWise by auto-creating a data model, auto-discovering data assets, and pushing tag data. Without the Sparkplug SiteWise Bridge, data would not be activated or put into a standard interface so companies could gain valuable business insights.

“One of the biggest pain points for big data and enterprise applications in the past has been that all OT data was sent to the cloud to create a massive data lake with inconsistent data that still needed to be cleaned,” said Arlen Nipper, President, and CTO of Cirrus Link and co-inventor of MQTT. “Now customers can drop a box into the factory, point to AWS, and all of the rest of the work is self-created. Services can utilize clean data with minimal effort.”

Sparkplug SiteWise Bridge from Cirrus Link:

• Consumes MQTT Sparkplug data (data model and tags)
• Auto-creates data models to AWS SiteWise
• Auto-discovers data assets
• Pushes tag data to AWS SiteWise
• Requires no programming or code

“We are excited to offer the industrial marketplace a powerful solution to achieve their Digital Transformation goals with the Ignition platform and the Cirrus-Link Sparkplug SiteWise Bridge – a user-friendly, efficient tool to transfer data to AWS IoT SiteWise,” said Don Pearson, Chief Strategy Officer at Inductive Automation. “Now the combined solution converts OT data to IT data, with a standard interface for modeling data assets for big data and advanced insights for immediate business value.”

Previously MQTT Sparkplug has been a play on the factory floor, but this solution moves it to the cloud to connect data anywhere. New devices or factories can be added automatically and added to a time-series database and data model. Customers can download and install the software and within 30 minutes they can automatically have data in SiteWise for any application. The Sparkplug SiteWise Bridge takes OT data and points it to IT quickly and easily with an open standard approach.
