Transforming the Modern Oil Field: Moving to a Distributed Gateway Architecture

Pioneer Natural Resources is a large, Texas-based independent exploration and production company that delivers industry-leading production and reserve growth through onshore, unconventional oil and gas resource development in the United States. SCADA Operations and Development Manager Charles Lame will present an interesting case study of how Pioneer is using Ignition to move from a single-server architecture to a scaled-out enterprise architecture with distributed services. Their large-scale implementation features more than 1,700,000 tags and 29,000-plus device connections, logging 52 million records per day and polling 160,000,000 tags overall.

Ignition and Water/Wastewater: A Decade of Transformation

For Information Systems Supervisor Henry Palechek, this August marks the tenth year of using Inductive Automation software to meet and even exceed the business needs of his water district. A lot has changed in 10 years, and in this session Henry will talk about the ways the district’s Ignition system has evolved to stabilize and simplify their processes and make his job easier.

Using Ignition to Innovate New Solutions for Food Processing

A winner of Food Engineering's Plant of the Year Award, and an innovator in their industry, SugarCreek Packing Company embraces cutting-edge disruptive technologies across their operations, from the processing of their food products to the management of their IIoT infrastructure. At this intriguing session, you'll hear from SugarCreek’s Director of Operational Technology Dan Stauft and Director of Information Technology Todd Pugh about how they leverage Ignition to empower their processes, get an advantage over their competition, and achieve a solid return on investment.

Firebrand Awards ICC 2017

The award recipients will gather for a lively and inspiring panel discussion about how their projects came about, what it took to achieve success, their future plans for Ignition, and more. Their stories could help you build your next great Ignition project!

Transforming Food Processing: Bridging IT and OT with Ignition

Hear how a leading food processor is using Ignition to bridge the gap between IT and OT, and the transformative effect this is having on their processes. Hugh Roddy of Chobani will talk about the process of moving from their old infrastructure to an Ignition system that emphasizes agility and mobility, and the process and business upsides of that transformation.

The IIoT Revolution: Transforming the Modern Enterprise Architecture

As the demand increases for faster industrial data analysis at an enterprise level, the need for a more simple, standardized, and connected system architecture becomes greater than ever. Through the decoupling of devices and applications, a new type of IIoT architecture holds the promise of increased data throughput, greater agility, and improved enterprise-wide communication. In this session, learn more about some of the factors driving this new trend and how IIoT could reshape the way industrial organizations think about and implement their system architectures for years to come.
