Ignition 8.1.4: Perspective Embedded Parameters, Workstation On-Screen Keyboard, EAM Inherited Resources & More Paul Scott Thu, 04/01/2021 - 13:01
Have your tickets at the ready! Ignition 8.1.4 is pulling into the station, loaded with new updates to keep making your Ignition experience better and better. This release train delivers a lot of exciting changes, but I only have time to call out a handful. Those changes include an easier way to set parameters when embedding views, an enhanced Send Project task, as well as new features for Perspective Workstation’s on-screen keyboard and Perspective’s Alarm Status Table. Let’s get started!
ICC 2021: Evolving the Virtual Experience Doug Dudley Thu, 04/01/2021 - 09:30
For everyone, 2020 was a year of firsts. At Inductive Automation, it was the first time we hosted our Ignition Community Conference virtually. One of the benefits of this format change was that ICC 2020 was by far the highest-attended conference in Inductive Automation’s history, so we’re coming into 2021 wiser, more experienced, and excited to build on last year’s success.
Ignition 8.1.3: Audit Profile Pruning, Barcode Scanning Color, and Perspective, Web Dev, and Logix Driver Updates Paul Scott Wed, 03/03/2021 - 13:33
Ignition 8.1.3 just pulled up to the station. Continuing the trend started in 8.1.0, this release is maintenance-focused, giving more priority to polish and quality-of-life improvements over large new features. As a result, this train is packing numerous fixes and changes, as well as some really useful new features. Climb aboard as we take a closer look.
Beyond the Hardware: The Importance of HMI Software Travis Cox Wed, 02/17/2021 - 14:34
Editor’s Note: We sat down with Travis Cox, one of the Co-Directors of Sales Engineering at Inductive Automation to talk about HMIs, specifically software. While the hardware options for HMIs can be endless, the software in most cases is the "secret sauce" that brings it all together. See what Travis has to say about HMIs and the important software considerations for OEMs.
Celebrating the Top Integrators of 2020 Melanie Hottman Wed, 02/10/2021 - 10:02
After the wild ride of 2020, it’s great to have an opportunity to look back and reflect on the accomplishments of last year. In particular, our integrators celebrated huge victories in their sales in spite of huge obstacles. Throughout the year, we got the opportunity to celebrate their successes with our Top-Selling Integrators page, which was updated every month to reflect the companies’ sales, and sent out in our News Feed. Not only were we inspired by our integrators’ performance, but we were delighted to see the friendly competition that formed between some of our top integrators.
