Developing Well-Designed Projects in Ignition (Spanish)

Learn key user experience/user interface (UX/UI) concepts to improve the interface design of your industrial projects. From the most common design mistakes to avoid, to the newest design methodologies, the team from NV Tecnologías will walk conference-goers through key design principles for HMIs and other interfaces. If you are new to screen design or want a refresher for UX in 2020, this is the perfect session for you.

Ignition with Cloud Services

Cloud services like AWS and Azure used in conjunction with Ignition offer many advantages. In this session, find out how using Ignition in a cloud environment can improve your solutions at an administrative, uptime, and management level. This session will also detail the networking and security implications and solutions to ensure a robust and secure system, and will take you through examples for outage usability, highlighting Ignition Edge as a local failover.

Improving Automation Systems with MQTT (Spanish)

Leveraging the fundamentals of MQTT as an application will bring your existing automation systems up-to-date and even future-proof them. Learn how to get your company and colleagues on board with using the MQTT protocol with persuasive strategies backed up by great information. You’ll learn the importance of embedded security, how to deploy cross-interactions between plant-floor enterprise applications, and more.

Leveraging Container Deployments with Ignition on Docker

In the same way that virtualization changed the way we develop and deploy industrial software, container computing presses on as the next enabler for scalable, robust, and efficient deployments and developer workflows. Containers can help solve some of the challenges presented by today’s complex and distributed architectures. This session will demonstrate how you can leverage Ignition on Docker to model complex architectures quickly, facilitate multi-version Ignition environments, and increase density on your development systems. Join Kymera & EN Engineering as they show how you can use container concepts to achieve better simulation and load testing for your MQTT deployments. They’ll also share what they’ve learned in using Ignition on Docker and help you envision what you can create with this exciting technology!

Use Docker & DevOps to Dominate Deployment

Deploying new features, bug fixes, and updates is necessary for every production SCADA/MES installation and without an established deployment cycle, modifications to any system pose significant risk. In this session, you’ll see Git source control, Docker containerization, and DevOps methodologies that you can use to effectively develop and deploy projects with Ignition. Apply standard Dev/Test/Stage/Prod practices from the software industry to support multiple developers, reduce unplanned downtime, and realize a more efficient process for developing and deploying Ignition projects.

Breaking the Myth of Industry 4.0 with Ignition

In this session, Automation Excellence gives viewers a simple approach to Industry 4.0, its principles, the components involved which include elements of both OT and IT, and the Ignition Platform.

Strategies for Optimizing Your Ignition System Performance
