METIS sets new standards in automated data acquisition by implementing MQTT and protobuf
MQTT, the latest and most hitech messaging protocol for the internet of things, is extremely light requiring minimal network bandwidth while at the same time provides increased reliability, scalability, security and the ability to offer true Real-Time monitoring of the vessel performance.
Protobuf ( Protocol Buffers) is a Google developed, open-source, language- and platform-neutral mechanism for serialising structured data, useful in developing programs to communicate with each other over a network and for managing and storing big volumes of data.
