Particle counters, pressure sensors, stability chambers, ultra-low freezers and process equipment publish over MQTT; your environmental monitoring system, MES, QMS and data lake subscribe. ConnectMQ moves the data — your validated systems keep the record.
No card required
Cleanrooms, warehouses, QC labs and production each have their own monitoring system, vendor and dashboards. A site-wide view of temperature, humidity and pressure means logging into four tools.
A freezer drifting at 2 a.m. or a cold-room door left ajar is often spotted on the next round or in a daily report — hours after the readings started to move.
Adding a sensor or a new consumer to a validated system takes change control and documentation. Point-to-point integrations multiply that effort with every new interface.
ConnectMQ is the transport layer: devices publish once, every system that needs the data subscribes, and the integration stays the same as you add rooms, sites and consumers.
Each instance is a private broker run for you — no broker servers for IT to build and patch at every site. Start with one cleanroom suite and move up a plan as you grow.
TLS on every connection, credentials per gateway and application, and per-topic ACLs: a QC dashboard can read the stability chambers without touching production topics.
Model site, building, room and asset in the ISA-95 topic workspace. QoS 1 and persistent sessions let a briefly disconnected subscriber catch up on what it missed.
Threshold rules flag a freezer warming, a room losing its pressure differential or a chamber leaving its band and notify the people on call — next to the alarms in your EMS.
Life sciences teams typically start with environmental and cold-chain monitoring, then add equipment health and AI agents that read the same topics.

pharma/basel/warehouse/ult-03/status (retained)MQTT can be part of a GMP data flow, but it is the transport, not the record. ConnectMQ moves readings from sensors and gateways to your systems; your validated EMS, MES or QMS stores them, keeps the audit trail and is covered by your validation. ConnectMQ is not a validated GxP system itself, so define its role in your own risk assessment.
ConnectMQ gives every customer an isolated broker instance, with TLS on every connection, separate credentials for every gateway and application, and per-topic ACLs. Environmental and equipment data usually carries no patient information; what you publish and how you classify it is your decision.
Most particle counters, ΔP transmitters and temperature/humidity sensors speak Modbus, 4–20 mA or a vendor protocol. An edge gateway reads them and publishes to topics such as pharma/basel/bldg-2/grade-b/room-214/dp, with the source timestamp in every payload.
Use QoS 1 so every message is acknowledged, persistent sessions so the broker holds messages for a subscriber that reconnects, and buffering on the gateway for network outages. Last Will tells your systems the moment a gateway drops off, so a gap is visible instead of silent.
Start on the Free plan — no card required. Connect one suite or one cold room, test the data path end to end, then move to Basic or Scale when you go live. No overage charges, cancel anytime.
