“…It is mainly applicable to embedded devices and microcontroller-based devices. Bezerra et al 2 tested and evaluated that MQTT is a better and more suitable IoT protocol in smart factory environment. Under the same conditions, MQTT has smaller message packets and a simpler structure, so it is faster to transmit messages.…”

The core concept of smart manufacturing is based on digitization to construct intelligent production and management in the manufacturing process. By digitizing the production process and connecting all levels from product design to service, the purpose of improving manufacturing efficiency, reducing production cost, enhancing product quality, and optimizing user experience can be achieved. To digitize the manufacturing process, IoT technology will have to be introduced into the manufacturing process to collect and analyze process information. However, one of the most important problems in building the industrial IoT (IIoT) environment is that different industrial network protocols are used for different equipment in factories. Therefore, the information in the manufacturing process may not be easily exchanged and obtained. To solve the above problem, a smart factory network architecture based on MQTT (MQ Telemetry Transport), IoT communication protocol, is proposed in this study, to construct a heterogeneous interface communication bridge between the machine tool, embedded device Raspberry Pi, and website. Finally, the system architecture is implemented and imported into the factory, and a smart manufacturing information management system is developed. The edge computing module is set up beside a three-axis machine tool, and a human-machine interface is built for the user controlling and monitoring. Users can also monitor the system through the dynamically updating website at any time and any place. The function of real-time gesture recognition based on image technology is developed and built on the edge computing module. The gesture recognition results can be transmitted to the machine controller through MQTT, and the machine will execute the corresponding action according to different gestures to achieve human-robot collaboration. The MQTT transmission architecture developed here is validated by the given edge computing application. It can serve as the basis for the construction of the IIoT environment, assist the traditional manufacturing industry to prepare for digitization, and accelerate the practice of smart manufacturing.

In this chapter, the main methods of communication among multi-robot systems involved in Machine-to-Machine (M2M) applications, especially with regard the communication, reliability, stability and security among these robots, presenting various concepts through papers already published. A comparative study was carried out between two communication protocols applied in M2M technologies, the Queue Telemetry Transport (MQTT) developed by IBM along with Eurotech and the Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP). A study and survey of the characteristics of each of the protocols was carried out, as well as the method of operation of each of them and how both can be used in applications involving multiple robots. It was concluded that both protocols are considered ideal for use in in applications involving multi-robot systems. However, although the two protocols have been designed for application in environments with limited communication, the MQTT exchange protocol has advantages over CoAP, as a lower ovehead between message exchanges.

“…The main requirements for these types of protocols are defined in the Internet information document RFC 2779 ("Instant Messaging/Presence Protocol Requirements"). This paper considers two main messaging protocols, XMPP and AMQP (Bezerra et al, 2018), and two software solutions that use these protocols, SPADE and RabbitMQ, respectively.…”
