Did you miss ICC 2024 last September? Inductive Automation has just published free access to all event recordings, including speakers, panels, demos, and especially the Build-a-Thon.

The Ignition software community is growing rapidly in the world of industrial automation. What is all the excitement about? 

As Opto 22’s Dan White explained after ICC 2024 last September, the ICC showcased "real-world projects that tackled the same automation hurdles you’re facing every day, and a community of dedicated partners working together to drive the industry forward—starting with your success at the core.”

Does it sound like something you want to be a part of? Here’s your chance to find out! 

All the event presentations from ICC 2024 are now available for you to view for free and on demand. Here are some Opto 22 highlights:

Opto 22 Exhibitor Demo: Break Through the Status Quo in Industrial Automation

Presenters: 
Dan White, Director of Technical Marketing, Opto 22
Garrick Reichert, Senior Applications Engineer, Opto 22

Are you tired of closed PLC platforms with proprietary protocols and high licensing costs? This presentation shows you how Opto 22’s groov products can help you break through the status quo in industrial automation.

With groov EPIC and RIO systems running Ignition Edge out of the box, you can control edge operations and securely democratize production data from the plant floor to IT systems—even to the cloud.

Discover the open, cybersecure architecture and free support and training resources that make Opto 22 groov hardware ideal for your next Ignition project.

Break Through Power & Energy Barriers with Ignition

Presenters: 
Benson Hougland, VP of Marketing & Product Strategy, Opto 22
Rebecca Gillespie, Managing Director, Energy Systems Network

What’s the power of tracking your organization’s energy use? Understanding your energy data reduces your operational costs and helps you assess equipment health and meet regulatory or ESG guidelines.

It’s hard to manage what you can’t measure. In this session, you’ll see how to quickly incorporate energy monitoring into your Ignition projects using free Ignition Exchange resources. Plus, you’ll hear from a State of Indiana representative who created the Energy INsights program that helps Indiana-based manufacturers address energy use while taking steps toward digitally transforming their business operations.

Build-a-Thon

Speakers/Hosts:
Kent Melville, Director of Sales Engineering, Inductive Automation
Travis Cox, Chief Technology Evangelist, Inductive Automation
Kevin McClusky, Chief Technology Architect & VP of Sales, Inductive Automation

Behold, another Build-a-Thon is upon us, complete with all the intrigue, feats of daring design, unexpected surprises, and singing that usually accompany such a monumental event.

This year, teams from two top integration companies battled to see who could design the best Ignition project. Don’t miss all the excitement—witness the crowning of a new Build-a-Thon champion at this educational, one-of-a-kind competitive SCADA event!
