Integrating Ignition 8 with Git for Source Control

In Ignition 8, we laid the foundation for using source control tools by storing projects in the file system. We get a lot of questions about how to effectively use Git for source control. In this session, we will explore the best practices of using an external source control system and setup a complete example.

Ignition Edge Changes

As you know, Ignition Edge is a line of lightweight, limited, low-cost Ignition software solutions designed specifically for embedding into field and OEM devices at the edge of the network. Ignition Edge has been extremely popular, however, some of the limitations, such as no Gateway scripting or 3rd party OPC-UA access, have been too restrictive at the edge. Inductive Automation continuously listens to our customers and we are excited to announce some changes and additions to Ignition Edge that will start in December of 2019 to address these pain pints. In this session, we will cover the Ignition Edge changes and additions and answer any questions relating to Edge.

Advanced Analytics and Machine Learning

Ignition has a few Machine Learning algorithms built in. There are also plenty of integrators who are using external Analytics packages and doing visualization / reports / access through Ignition. We'll spend around 20-30 minutes talking about Analytics, AI, and Machine Learning in Ignition, and then will switch to an open Q&A on any Ignition topic.
