# HiveMQ

Each page builds on the previous one, from simple **PLC-to-cloud flows** to **enterprise-grade, secure OT/IT integration.**

You can use these guides to:

* Understand how HiveMQ fits into typical industrial architectures
* Design scalable MQTT / UNS-based data pipelines
* Explain OT/IT integration concepts to engineers, IT teams, and management

#### What you’ll find in the sub-pages

* [PLC to Cloud via HiveMQ (Edge + Cloud) — OPC UA → MQTT → Confluent](/product-reviews/smart-platforms/hivemq/plc-to-cloud-via-hivemq-edge-+-cloud-opc-ua-mqtt-confluent.md)\
  A foundational flow showing how PLC data is collected via OPC UA, mapped to MQTT using HiveMQ Edge, and forwarded to cloud systems.
* [Multi-Site PLC-to-Cloud Flow using HiveMQ Edge + Cloud](/product-reviews/smart-platforms/hivemq/multi-site-plc-to-cloud-flow-using-hivemq-edge-+-cloud.md)\
  An extension of the basic pattern, demonstrating how multiple sites and Edge instances can feed a centralized cloud or enterprise broker.
* [HiveMQ Edge-to-Cloud AI Pipeline](/product-reviews/smart-platforms/hivemq/hivemq-edge-to-cloud-ai-pipeline.md)\
  A use-case-driven example showing how OT data can be consumed by analytics and AI workloads once it is available via MQTT.
* [Secure OT/IT Data Integration Using HiveMQ Edge and Site DMZ](/product-reviews/smart-platforms/hivemq/secure-ot-it-data-integration-using-hivemq-edge-and-site-dmz.md)\
  A reference architecture illustrating how enterprises typically separate OT and IT using a Site DMZ (Level 3.5), with HiveMQ Edge and brokers deployed in layers.

Together, these pages provide a **progressive learning path** — from simple connectivity to enterprise-ready OT/IT integration aligned with UNS and security best practices.

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://wiki.codeandcompile.com/product-reviews/smart-platforms/hivemq.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
