Ignition & Water/Wastewater: Doing Less With More

Water/wastewater lives the adage, “Do more with less.” Except Ignition is more: more than SCADA, more than visualization, more than a database front-end. And because it gives users more, they spend less time developing, less time maintaining, and less time securing their system. In this session, you'll hear the story of how a water district in the eastern US is using Ignition as their engine of innovation to drive continual advancements. Learn how they got started, the challenges they overcame, and where Ignition is helping them go, culminating in a sneak peek of the city’s newest cybersecurity project.

Analyzing Plant-Design Scenarios

For this project, ANDRITZ Automation used Ignition to create an engineering tool that performs detailed analysis of the preliminary design of a plant. ANDRITZ creates an engineering design model of the plant in its proprietary simulation software called IDEAS. Then, Ignition controls the execution of a multitude of design scenarios and aggregates the results for the user, graphically presenting the impacts of design choices on parameters like plant throughput and energy consumption.
