Publish Material Movements

Overview

TilliT can receive material movement data from your equipment via MQTT. Material movements track the consumption, production, and transfer of materials throughout your production process. This includes raw materials used, finished goods produced, inventory transfers between locations, and any other material transactions. Material movements are sent to TilliT from your edge devices and automatically update inventory levels.

Sending to the MQTT Broker

The topic to publish on is constructed as per the following, replacing ENV, TENANT and THINGNAME with those that apply for you

$aws/rules/`${ENV_NAME}_edge_data/${tenant}/${thingId}/material-movements


e.g $aws/rules/production_edge_data/bottling/TillitEdge-717503/material-movements
    $aws/rules/stage_edge_data/bakery/TillitEdge-a0163b/material-movements

You can find your thingName contained in the same file as the certificates supplied to you. You can also contact support to track down the thingName for you.
