MQTT Streaming

MQTT streaming lets you subscribe to a continuous feed of sensor data from the Shoplogix IMS platform, delivered directly to your MQTT broker or OT network infrastructure. This is the highest-throughput integration path — data arrives as fast as sensors report it, without polling.

What You Get​

When you set up an MQTT subscription, the platform routes sensor readings to your MQTT broker as they arrive — typically every ~60 seconds per sensor. The feed includes both telemetry data and sensor status messages.

Use Cases​

  • Feeding Shoplogix data into a SCADA or DCS system
  • Streaming sensor readings into an edge computing platform
  • Connecting to an on-premises data historian

Setting Up MQTT Streaming​

MQTT subscriptions are managed via the REST API or Shoplogix IMS (requires the Developer role).

To set up a subscription, provide:

  • Your MQTT broker hostname and port
  • Your broker credentials
  • The topics you want to receive

Contact your Shoplogix account team if you need help configuring your MQTT endpoint or have questions about message format and topic structure.
