How we can help

At the heart of Streamline’s MQTT middleware solution is a data broker that captures data from edge devices and efficiently routes pertinent data to specific applications that want to ingest this specific data providing multiple benefits:

• Reduced latency: MQTT middleware architecture frees-up communications infrastructure, allowing field devices to publish data to corresponding applications and control systems in seconds instead of minutes.
• Access untapped data: Data is no longer stranded inside clogged networks or edge devices. Middleware architecture allows data to flow freely and efficiently from edge devices to the data broker and directly to the applications that need it.
• Reduced cost: MQTT-enabled SCADA systems can scale cost-effectively with modern licensing agreements that allow operators to buy only what they need. Upgrades for MQTT-enabled systems are typically 30% less expensive than prevailing licensing models.
• Reduced risk: Critical leak alarm thresholds can be reduced by up to 50%, meaning fewer false alarms and faster responses to real events.
• Increased security: Use of active control lists (ACLs), encrypted data, and outbound-only connections from edge devices decrease cybersecurity risk to the overall system. Middleware architecture provides an added security level as applications are decoupled from the SCADA system reducing the number of open firewall ports needed to only one single port.
