Contamination monitoring only changes behavior when it reaches the people already making the decisions. MQTT delivers every APMON measurement into the systems your team already watches — and places it next to the process data that gives it meaning.

Today, deposition data usually lives in its own portal. Someone opens it when a question comes up, or exports it once a week for a report. By the time a rising trend is noticed, the batch has shipped, the shift has ended, and the cause is no longer traceable.

With MQTT enabled, every completed measurement is published to your own broker within seconds. The deposition rate appears on the screen the operator already has open, in the same dashboard as pressure, temperature, and production status. An excursion becomes something you respond to, not something you discover afterward.

How it works

Your APMON sensors capture particle images and send them to the APMON cloud. The cloud platform processes the images and calculates all metrics — particle counts per size bin, deposition rate level L, the eight-hour moving average L8, and particle area coverage. The cloud then publishes the finished results to your broker.

The sensors themselves never connect to your infrastructure. All MQTT communication is handled by the APMON cloud on your behalf. You configure your broker once, and data flows automatically with every measurement.

The protocol it speaks

MQTT is the messaging standard behind industrial automation, smart buildings, and IoT platforms worldwide. Because APMON speaks it natively, no proprietary connector or adapter is required. Building management systems, SCADA platforms, Grafana and InfluxDB, Microsoft Azure IoT Hub, AWS IoT Core, Node-RED, and business intelligence tools such as Power BI all subscribe to MQTT out of the box.
