If you're in the industrial automation field, you'll want to hear about the annual ARC Forum that keeps you thinking ahead.

If you didn’t make it to the 29th Annual ARC Industry Forum, you missed out. But this blog post will get you up to speed!

Here’s what went down and why this event continues to matter:

Learn from the City of Morro Bay's dynamic operations and see how your systems could be adapted for real-time data.

Managing multiple control systems doesn’t have to be a headache. When Operational Technology Specialist Grant Chase went to work in Morro Bay, California, he found a utilities infrastructure in need of unification and stability. 

The city’s water and wastewater control systems were a patchwork of different technologies—some dating back decades.

Grant was determined to rebuild a standardized operation with key security controls in place to protect critical infrastructure. See how edge controller technology played a prominent role in getting operators working smoothly on one platform to visualize data across all processes.

See how Edge Controls introduced a standardized interface and hardware solution for legacy equipment.

What are some of your current application challenges? Mixed control systems? Differing protocols and interfaces on your machinery? Or are you simply trying to reach predictive maintenance for your operations?

If any of this sounds familiar, then this standout application story from the 2024 Ignition Community Conference Discover Gallery can offer some guidance.

Stonehill Environmental Partners asked OptoPartner Edge Controls to help them regain their competitiveness by implementing a new SCADA system that would address their legacy equipment challenges. See what happened next.

Two must-see presentations at the 2025 ARC Industry Forum promise to deliver on this year's theme of winning in the industrial AI era.

Will you be joining Opto 22 and Inductive Automation at the annual ARC Industry Forum in Orlando February 10-13, 2025? There you'll see groov EPIC controllers and groov RIO edge I/O in action—working with the Ignition software included in the groov family of products.

In addition to live demos in the Inductive Automation booth, you'll hear two guest speakers presenting their first-hand experience with this collaborative technology. Here are the applications they'll be sharing and the kind of results you can expect.

Wondering if groov EPIC factory training is worth attending? Hear from the first groov EPIC class of 2025 as they share feedback and highlights from their experience.

If you've been considering attending in-person PLC training this year or are interested in learning more on the topics of edge computing, digital transformation, MQTT, Node-RED or Ignition....you'll want to look into groov EPIC Premium Factory training at Opto 22 headquarters.
