Learn how network segmentation protects the devices that can't protect themselves.

Are you a manufacturer who is trying to modernize operations without replacing the PLCs and control systems that are still working? Your machines are still running, but you face the challenge of connecting their OT data to IT networks. 

These legacy systems weren't made to hold up to today's cybersecurity threats when they are exposed to the internet or business networks.

So what's the answer? Read a new technical article that offers practical solutions—and see why network segmentation is vital to unlocking OT data in a secure way.

A new webinar series highlights the strong partnership between Inductive Automation Australia, Binford Tech, and Opto 22 to offer complete solution packages to customers in the region.

Australian engineers are increasingly asked to connect more systems, modernize aging infrastructure, improve cybersecurity, and deliver real IIoT results. Can you do it without ripping out existing systems that work?

This new two-part webinar series shows how you can.

Join Opto 22, Inductive Automation’s only hardware Premier Technology Partner, Inductive Automation Australia, and Australia-based distributor Binford Tech for a practical presentation on how modern industrial hardware can simplify secure edge deployment with Ignition.

Listen to a recent episode of Inductive Automation's Ignited podcast to see how the open-source MQTT protocol has completely changed industrial data architectures.

Are you looking to build systems that move data—reliably and securely—across an enterprise? Have proprietary approaches slowed you down or locked you in?

Episode 4 of Inductive Automation's new Ignited podcast is a must listen! The co-inventor of MQTT, Arlen Nipper, and Opto 22 VP Benson Hougland are the featured guests on this podcast, reviewing industrial automation technology and taking you into the future.

Inductive Automation's Travis Cox and Thomas Burke host this discussion about why MQTT and Sparkplug B are now the key to scalable industrial data, and why edge computing changes everything.

Listen in on these insightful conversations:

Listen to the discussion on a recent episode of the EnergyTech podcast for insights on how data centers are becoming AI factories.

What has changed in the data center industry in just the past year? Attendees of Inductive Automation's Data Center Discovery Day found out firsthand.

At the event, OpSite Energy's Mike Flores sat down with Opto 22 VP Benson Hougland for a deeper discussion on why and how data center demand is changing—and how MQTT and UNS (Unified Namespace) are becoming the keys to contextualizing data for better (and immediate) decision making.

Tune in to episode 79 of the EnergyTech podcast for the complete discussion.

Learn the benefits of open source, open standards, and open architecture in industrial automation.

Industrial companies are under pressure to modernize operations, connect legacy systems, and deliver real-time data.
But too many IIoT and digital transformation projects become expensive, overly complex, and difficult to maintain.

What if you could build an industrial data infrastructure that is open, scalable, secure, and fully under your control?

Explore what's possible in this new white paper: Building Industrial Data Systems You Actually Own. 

Learn how modern edge-based architectures are helping manufacturers, system integrators, OEMs, and industrial engineers simplify connectivity from the plant floor to the cloud.

Watch the next episode in the Who's groovin video series and see how to build secure, resilient, and scalable SCADA systems.

Would you trust a SCADA system that takes five minutes just to confirm that a pump turned on? At the Genesee County Drain Commissioner’s Division of Water and Waste Services in Michigan, they didn’t have much choice.

In this edition of the Who’s groovin video series, see how Genesee County replaced slow radio polling with edge-based MQTT Sparkplug communications—giving their operators a real-time view of what’s happening at all of their 180 sites.

Watch the video: 

See your options for hands-on learning and demo units for your proof-of-concept (POC) projects.

Are you looking for an easier way to see the potential for your automation and IIoT projects? Wouldn't it be helpful to have a fully working system on your bench or desk for development?

New case study explains how Genesee County Drain Commissioner - Water & Waste Services solved their slow radio polling communication problem over 600 square miles.

Communication breakdowns in industrial systems aren’t just frustrating—they’re costly, disruptive, and often difficult to diagnose. 

The Genesee County Drain Commissioner Division of Water & Waste Service (GCDC-WWS) in Michigan struggled with the communication slowdowns in their legacy radio polling system. Poor alarming meant operators could not reliably fine-tune the pumping stations. With 180 remote sites across 600 square miles, these delays became unacceptable.

This new case study shows you how they solved the problem.
