Tune in to episode 12 of the Ignited podcast for real conversations on edge applications making a difference in very different industries.

Industrial automation is changing fast, but some of the biggest challenges remain surprisingly familiar: connecting equipment, getting useful data where it needs to go, and building systems that don’t box you in later.

Edge solutions are increasingly helping solve those challenges in both greenfield and brownfield systems. But don't you want to see what that actually looks like in practice?

Listen in as Opto 22's Dan White sits down with the Inductive Automation Ignited podcast team to break down four simple edge application stories that led to huge results.

Podcast hosts Travis Cox and Thomas Burke ask Dan to explain how the technology partnership between Opto 22 and Inductive Automation started—and why the groov + Ignition combo turned in to a long-term edge solution in various industries all over the world.

Their discussion covers the following industrial applications:

• Unifying the Un-unifiable: How MTNA shatters vendor lock-in to harmonize mixed fleets under a single pane of glass (automotive industry)
• Thriving in Hostile Territory: Inside Surety's stripped-down, hardened hardware built for extreme environments, backed by bulletproof store-and-forward data redundancy (mining industry)
• Killing the Lag: How Genesee County is moving past slow, fragile radio polling in favor of high-throughput, real-time data streaming (water/wastewater)
• Coordination at Scale: How Nautilus is productizing coordinated control, turning chaotic, isolated machines into a synchronized, autonomous orchestra (data center)
