Corso Systems

Most automated processes require tracking of system status and performance, including operator responses to process upsets. Typically, this is accomplished using a physical notebook, as it is relatively tamper-proof. Using Ignition’s built-in Audit Log, this process can be done digitally, but it’s possible to alter and tamper with after data has been entered. In order to prevent tampering of the digital operator log, Corso Systems has built a tool using blockchain technology to ensure records are not changed, including distributed validation to ensure data integrity and limit the impact of bad actors trying to interfere with the system. This session will cover the implementation and methodology of this technology, real-world use cases, and show how this tool helps keep Ignition at the forefront of digital operations.

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.
