MQTT - Invented for SCADA, Adopted by IT, Solving Digital Transformation Today

Although MQTT was first invented for efficient SCADA communications and decoupling of data 20 years ago, it has been adopted by cloud service providers to become a dominant cloud IIoT messaging technology. Using a live SCADA infrastructure, we'll share new Ignition module capabilities, new wireless technologies, and Ignition's native Data Ops tooling to demonstrate how efficiently OT data is shared across the entire enterprise. Whether you are tasked with implementing digital transformation strategies, adopting big data analytics, machine learning, artificial intelligence, or simply looking to incorporate wireless sensors into Ignition cost-effectively, this session will provide a path forward for your projects.

From Zero to SCADA: Rapidly Building a SCADA System from the Pipeline to the Cloud

What if you had to upgrade a large-scale pipeline SCADA system in only three months? That was the challenge facing ARB Midstream when it acquired a new pipeline asset. ARB contracted Industrial Networking Solutions (INS) to migrate from its slow, high-cost, legacy SCADA software to a modern SCADA solution with cloud-based reporting, management, visibility, control, and redundancy features. In this session, get a detailed look at how ARB Midstream and INS leveraged the limitless power of Ignition, Ignition Edge, MQTT and AWS to deliver a standardized network infrastructure and a scalable, centrally manageable SCADA platform in just a few months.

The Quickest and Simplest Method for Publishing Sensor and State Data Directly to Ignition

Real-time, real-world data from sensors and devices is key to creating the connected enterprise. In this session, Benson Hougland from Opto 22 will demonstrate how to quickly and securely connect, configure, and publish sensor and state device data directly into MQTT infrastructure — without using a PC or PLC. You’ll see how data “auto-magically” appears in Ignition using MQTT Engine, significantly streamlining your application development and digital transformation projects — from automation to OEE and everything in between.
