About this course
Overview
This hands-on workshop is designed to give you a practical foundation in Model Context Protocol (MCP) and how it integrates with HighByte, MQTT, and the Unified Namespace to enable scalable, real-time industrial systems.
You'll learn how to structure, model, and publish contextualized industrial data using the HighByte Intelligence Hub and see how that data powers modern architectures, AI agents, and digital supply chains.
Whether you're just starting to explore MCP or looking to turn proof-of-concepts into production-ready systems, this workshop delivers the tools and knowledge you need to lead digital transformation with confidence.
By the end, you’ll understand how to implement MCP in your architecture—and be ready to scale it across lines, sites, or entire enterprises.
