See why groov RIO edge I/O with Ignition Edge has become a key component to college Industry 4.0 labs and preparing students for real-world applications.

Have you wondered what a modern day college engineering lab is equipped with for today's students? What's the latest technology that's needed to prepare students for careers in industrial automation? Is it the same technology you're researching for your projects?

Inductive Automation explores the classroom in their latest case study featuring Clovis Community College. You'll learn why Ignition software pairs well with Opto 22 groov devices to meet the challenges of today's IIoT applications, as well as exceeding educational expectations.

The lab project was called the “Industry 4.0 Project.” The idea was simple: combine Inductive Automation’s Ignition software — an industrial automation platform for SCADA, HMI, IIoT, and more — with accessible hardware so that students could see immediate real-world results and be inspired to pursue careers in automation.

Visit Inductive Automation for the complete Clovis College case study, along with a 12 minute video that features interviews with students and staff who explain the importance of their work and the hardware and software being utilized.

The case study delves into:

• Developing an Ignition system that controls a miniature smart home
• Introducing technologies and concepts like MQTT and Unified Namespace
• Increasing programming skills with the help of groov RIO hardware

It's a fun application story we all can learn a lot from!
