Displaying Sensor Data with Forge’s Grafana Plugin

Blog / / ,

In our latest blog post we demonstrate how OPC UA Forge can receive air-quality sensor measurements from Ruuvi devices and stream them through an MQTT broker into a structured information model in Forge. The data is then visualised in real-time or historically via the Forge Grafana Plugin — providing a seamless, no-code path from sensor to dashboard.
