Pyrolysis boilers burn biomass highly efficiently – when they run optimally. However, without continuous monitoring, inefficiencies remain invisible: Too low combustion temperatures lead to energy losses, suboptimal oxygen supply results in incomplete combustion. This monitoring system captures over 300 data points per minute from Siemens S7 controllers and transmits them via MQTT and SparkplugB into a Unified Namespace. InfluxDB stores the time-series data, while Grafana dashboards provide real-time visualization and alerting. The result: Transparent operations management, optimized combustion, and centralized administration of multiple facilities across locations.

Technologies Used:

• Siemens S7 PLC
• MQTT & SparkplugB
