MQTT Connector
The OAS MQTT Connector is your complete solution for industrial data exchange. With a built-in MQTT gateway, you can easily connect to MQTT devices and software brokers. The OAS Platform functions as both an MQTT broker and an MQTT client, giving you maximum flexibility for real-time data handling.
Flexible MQTT Connectivity
OAS supports the MQTT protocol used across a wide range of industrial and commercial IoT environments. As a powerful MQTT IIoT tool, OAS makes it easy to publish and subscribe to topics, customize payloads, and scale your data architecture without limitations.
All interfaces provide access to data directly without the need for proprietary plug-ins.
MQTT Data Access
- Subscribe to MQTT brokers to receive data in real time.
- Easily parse JSON payloads with no code.
- Publish data to MQTT brokers based on event, continuously, or data change.
- Construct JSON payloads without scripts.
- Optionally include timestamp and data quality from originating source.
- Store and forward data on network failures.
OAS also supports Sparkplug B protocol both as a Host Application and as an Edge of Network Node.

MQTT Client + Broker
Subscribe to MQTT Brokers to receive data or act as a broker so clients can subscribe to live data from OAS Tags. Ideal for businesses needing a full-featured MQTT IoT gateway.
Event Based Publishing
Publish data to MQTT Brokers based on event, continuously, or data change. Include timestamp and data quality from originating source.
Sparkplug B Support
Supports Sparkplug B protocol both as a Host Application and as an Edge of Network Node.
JSON Handling
OAS effortlessly parses and constructs JSON packets with your chosen data—all without requiring any coding.
Data Accuracy & Reliability
Data from each MQTT broker is processed on-premise in a first-in, first-out (FIFO) manner. This ensures that all data received from the broker is preserved and not just the latest value.
Additionally, a backup MQTT broker can be defined to ensure reliable Automated Communications Failover.
Store and Forward
Optionally enable the Store and Forward property in the MQTT driver interface to buffer data to disk in the event of communication loss to the MQTT broker or from remote OAS Edge nodes.
This maintains 100% data in case of network failure.
Transfer Data to Industry 4.0 Data Sources
Use the OAS Data Route product to transfer data to Modbus, Allen Bradley PLCs, Siemens S7 Controllers, OPC UA, OPC DA, MQTT, Sparkplug B, MTConnect, AWS IoT Core, Azure IoT Hub, Azure Event Hubs, Kafka, .NET, REST Clients, and Databases.
Common Use Cases
Data Transfer
Transfer data locally and remotely to Industry 4.0 data sources, IoT Cloud Systems, and other MQTT Brokers using the Data Route feature. As an IoT gateway MQTT solution, OAS makes it easy to route data to and from any MQTT broker while maintaining compatibility with modern IIoT infrastructure.
Sparkplug B Host Application
Connect to Sparkplug B Edge of Network nodes with automated tag creation.
IoT Publish
Use OAS as an MQTT data connector to publish formatted JSON to brokers based on events or schedules, with backup.
