Data node
Węzeł danych integruje maszyny z systemem i przesyła dane do chmury, nawet przy chwilowej utracie łączności.
MQTT node
The data node provides a reliable connection between machines and the AndonCloud system. It enables real-time signal collection and secure transmission to the cloud. It continues to operate even in the event of a temporary loss of internet connection by buffering data locally. This ensures uninterrupted production monitoring.
Integration of data from end devices
The node receives analogue and digital signals and information from machine controllers and then transmits them to a single central location. This allows the system to collect information in a consistent and continuous manner.
Compatibility with the MQTT protocol
The MQTT protocol enables direct communication with devices without the need for additional intermediaries. It ensures stable data transfer, even in industrial environments with variable loads.
Flexible processing and data logic
The administrator can define how the system responds to specific signals by creating rules and dependencies without the need for programming, and adapt the operating logic to production processes.
Collecting data from machines
The system automatically collects data from sensors and controllers, enabling real-time production monitoring without manual reporting of results. The data is immediately analysed and presented in the system panels. This allows deviations to be quickly detected and responded to in real time.
Automatic collection of production data
The system collects production data without human intervention, eliminating the need for manual entry of results. This reduces the risk of entering incorrect data.
Wide compatibility with various machines
The system supports multiple industrial protocols, including Profinet and MQTT, enabling the integration of devices of different designs and ages. This allows you to connect both older machines and modern production lines.
Real-time monitoring
The data is refreshed immediately after it appears, providing full insight into the current status of the production process. This allows you to quickly detect failures, respond to deviations and prevent problems from escalating.
Caching data locally
Węzeł danych przechowuje informacje lokalnie, gdy wystąpi problem z siecią. Po przywróceniu łączności synchronizuje je z chmurą bez utraty danych. Dzięki temu produkcja jest monitorowana bez przerw. To wyjątkowo ważne w zakładach o niestabilnej infrastrukturze.
Security of information transmission
Data transmitted by the node is encrypted and accessible only to authorised devices with an assigned key. This ensures a high level of protection and secures the system against unauthorised access.
Automatic synchronization
When the network connection is restored, the node immediately sends all pending information to the system, ensuring that nothing is lost. This allows for full continuity of data logging.
Support for local and remote installations
The system can operate both on-premises and in the cloud, allowing the implementation to be tailored to the needs of the facility. This provides greater infrastructure flexibility and the ability to work in different operating models.
IoT sensor support
The platform works with various types of IoT sensors – analogue, digital and wireless – enabling flexible system expansion and easy integration of additional components into the production environment. Thanks to its open architecture, additional sensors can be connected without interfering with the infrastructure, extending monitoring to new areas. The system allows for the ongoing collection of detailed process data and quick response to changing operating conditions.
Flexible hardware integration
The open architecture allows you to connect a variety of sensors, such as temperature and pressure sensors, as well as other IoT devices. This makes the system easy to expand and adapt to the specific requirements of production lines.
Support for analog and digital sensors
The system works with analogue and digital sensors via dedicated modules, enabling precise real-time readings. This allows processes to be monitored with high accuracy.
Insights into critical parameters
Continuous measurement of parameters such as temperature and vibration levels enables rapid detection of anomalies at the workstation. This allows operators to respond before a minor deviation develops into a more serious failure.

Frequently asked questions
- The MQTT node processes incoming data from machines, equipment and sensors, allowing it to be further used in the system for analysis and visualization.
- It can receive a variety of text data in JSON format, numbers, logical values or statuses, which are further mapped to actions in the system.
- No, the configuration has been simplified to the level of a graphical editor, so no programming knowledge is required.
- The data is processed almost instantly, and visibility on dashboards is possible with a delay of several seconds or so.
- The AndonCloud system uses the popular Mosquitto broker, ensuring stability and ease of integration with various data sources.
- The system allows you to collect data on operating status, failures, operating time, number of units produced, downtime and other key parameters.
- The system supports many industry standards, including MQTT, OPC UA and other popular integration methods.
- Yes, the data is received and processed practically in real time, allowing immediate response to changes.
- Yes, the system's architecture allows for parallel data collection from multiple sources, even in distributed locations.
- Data from the machines is used in dashboards, reports, analysis, and to automatically trigger system logic (e.g., status changes).
- The system supports a wide range of sensors - digital, analog and wireless, such as those for temperature, pressure, vibration, presence or fill level.
- Nie zawsze – system współpracuje z czujnikami zgodnymi z otwartymi standardami (jak MQTT, IO-Link), co pozwala na bezpośrednią integrację lub prostą rozbudowę za pomocą gotowych komponentów.
- Yes - when certain thresholds are exceeded, the system generates alarms and changes statuses without operator involvement.
- Sensors can initiate, for example, a production stop, sending an SMS alert, changing the status of a line or writing to the process history - all depending on the system logic set up.
- Yes - all parameters are monitored and visualized on dashboards in real time, which supports preventive maintenance.
- It's a mechanism for temporarily storing machine and sensor data when the connection to the cloud is lost to prevent data loss.
- Caching starts automatically in the event of an Internet outage or temporary loss of connectivity to the data server.
- When the network connection is regained, the buffer automatically transfers the outstanding data to the corresponding objects in the system.
- No, the system works automatically - the user does not need to take any additional action.
- Yes, the functionality includes all the data necessary to maintain continuous reporting and analytics in the system.
The platform supports digital, analog and wireless sensors - enabling their flexible connection, automatic detection of value exceedances and immediate display of alerts without operator involvement. The system analyzes production parameters in real time and allows visualization of machine health to support maintenance and reduce the risk of breakdowns. AndonCloud's architecture is open and compatible with multiple industry standards (MQTT, IO-Link, OPC UA), so it can work with both new and legacy production lines. It is a solution that supports the digitization of production, improves access to data and enables accurate operational decisions.
