AnvilMQ: Industrial Message Broker
AnvilMQ is EmberNet's built-in message broker, the publish/subscribe backbone that moves data between your devices, edge applications, and the platform. It speaks MQTT, the standard for industrial IoT messaging, so the equipment and apps you already use connect to it without modification.
What it does
- Pub/sub messaging. Producers publish to topics and consumers subscribe, and decoupling sensors and PLCs from the applications that use their data.
- MQTT-native. Standard MQTT on the usual ports (1883, and 8883 for TLS), so any MQTT-capable device or app connects directly.
- The platform's data bus. Edge apps, historians, and automation tools exchange live data through AnvilMQ rather than point-to-point wiring.
Why it matters
Without a broker, every producer has to know about every consumer, and adding a new application means rewiring integrations. With AnvilMQ, a device publishes once and any number of applications, whether a historian, a dashboard, or an automation flow, can consume it independently. Add or remove consumers without touching the producers.
Using AnvilMQ
AnvilMQ runs as part of the platform. Point your MQTT-capable devices and apps at the broker and start publishing and subscribing. Apps deployed from the App Store, such as Node-RED, Telegraf, and n8n, integrate with it directly.
