Sparkplug and OPC UA - A Comparison of Industrial Automation Protocols

Watch a conference talk from EclipseCon 2023 exploring the relationship between MQTT Sparkplug and OPC UA protocols in industrial automation. Discover how these leading protocols can coexist and complement each other in real-world deployments, with Sparkplug offering application decoupling, simplicity, and out-of-the-box interoperability across the Edge-to-Cloud continuum. Gain insights into the architectural differences and feature sets of both protocols, and learn how Sparkplug can enhance legacy OPC UA implementations. Understand the deployment scenarios for both protocols, from constrained microcontroller devices to gateways and SaaS platforms. Find out how to participate in the Sparkplug ecosystem and locate Sparkplug-compliant products through this comprehensive presentation by Frédéric Desbiens of the Eclipse Foundation.
