Indianapolis Lunch & Learn – Discover Ignition: The New SCADA That Is Changing Manufacturing

While technology has always changed, manufacturers have noticed that the changes have become bigger and faster in the last few years. The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), Big Data, and the Cloud are now perceived less as buzzwords and more as urgent priorities. To adapt to a changing business landscape, forward-looking industrial organizations need an innovative industrial software solution that can expand with them without overwhelming their budget.

Ironically, although SCADA stands for “supervisory control and data acquisition,” legacy SCADA software is hard to customize, it doesn’t “play well” with other software and systems, it is very expensive to implement and often makes expansion cost-prohibitive, and it doesn’t let you easily access real-time data. A growing number of manufacturers are choosing to build their architectures with a SCADA platform that is modular, web-launched, and server-centric. It’s amazing the possibilities that open up when these manufacturers use a tool that can break down data silos and get data from many more sources onto one unified platform.

In this free lunch and learn, Flexware Innovation will show you how Ignition, the industrial application platform by Inductive Automation, is doing just that…making data acquisition easier than ever while also being scalable and economical for organizations of all sizes.
