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.
