How to Use Roboflow with Ignition using MQTT
Blog post from Roboflow
The blog post by Nick Herrig outlines a detailed guide for integrating Roboflow Workflows with Ignition, an industrial automation solution, utilizing the MQTT protocol. It focuses on deploying a custom-trained YOLOv11 model via Roboflow to track coffee bags on a manufacturing line, with the data sent to Ignition for display on a Perspective dashboard. The guide emphasizes the prerequisites such as creating a Roboflow account and installing necessary Ignition modules, along with a step-by-step walkthrough on configuring tags, setting up a workflow, and integrating Python scripts for real-time data processing. The integration aims to enhance operational efficiency by providing real-time monitoring and data analysis capabilities, ultimately allowing users to build a dashboard for visualizing data related to coffee bag counts and video frames.
