Demystifying The Unified Namespace with Ignition

Unified Namespaces (UNS) have the power to streamline OT data by breaking through communication barriers between devices and applications. By leveraging the Ignition platform and MQTT, UNS can open the door to transformative potential for operational and enterprise applications. But what even is a UNS? Join Cirrus Link as they leverage Ignition and MQTT to implement UNS and their transformative potential for applications, and share details about the core functionalities of UNS. By the end of the session you'll be equipped with the knowledge to harness the power of unified data and unlock new possibilities for your industrial operations.

Sepasoft Exhibitor Demo: Sepasoft’s Workflow Solution: Building Bobbles With Batch

Sepasoft’s workflow solution can map out and execute the production process for almost anything – including made-to-order bobbleheads! Our demo will showcase how simple it is to manage production workflows, collect real-time data, and utilize document management with 3D models and form entry. We’ll also highlight how to authenticate and verify every action during production for compliance and accountability using Electronic Batch Records (EBR) and electronic signatures. Join us to see the latest Batch Procedure technology in action.

Optimizing Load Time in Ignition Perspective

How can you ensure that screens load fast and actions are snappy when using Ignition Perspective to create bigger and better projects? Learn how in this presentation, which will discuss strategies for optimizing screen development, organizing nested views, and analyzing Perspective execution. You’ll also get a look at simple rules-of-thumb for bindings, complex custom svg components, and where to strike the balance between performance and maintainability.

Standardizing the Unstandardized: Strategies for SCADA Systems

SCADA systems can become complex and unwieldy when managed by numerous engineers or when ownership changes through acquisitions. In this session we will focus on strategies and implementation methods for using Ignition to transform disorganized systems into standardized, efficient operations. This presentation will cover best practices from small, unique projects to large-scale projects with multimillion-tag counts. Highlighting the similarities and differences between these types of projects, this session emphasizes the importance of standards in data modeling and a robust validation and verification process. Implementing these techniques enhances system performance, reduces costs, and increases user confidence — all of which are critical for the successful delivery of projects of any size to clients and stakeholders.

Break Through Power & Energy Barriers with Ignition

What’s the power of tracking your organization’s energy use? Understanding your energy data reduces your operational costs, and helps you assess equipment health and meet regulatory or ESG guidelines. It’s hard to manage what you can’t measure. In this session, you’ll see how to quickly incorporate energy monitoring into your Ignition projects using free Ignition Exchange resources. Plus, you’ll hear from a State of Indiana representative who created the Energy INsights program that helps Indiana-based manufacturers address energy use while taking steps toward digitally transforming their business operations.

Integrating Ignition with Exciting Peripherals

Ignition is based on open standards, is deployable anywhere, provides data to anyone, and can integrate with virtually any system or device. This allows you to leverage best-in-class technology with seamless integration to Ignition. Perspective and the native iOS and Android application is a perfect example of this. Ignition enables people to extend their applications to a phone or tablet by leveraging the camera, GPS, NFC, Bluetooth LE, and other mobile tools. In this session, you’ll get some exciting use cases and live demos featuring one exciting OT peripheral and one very cool guest appearance you won’t want to miss!
