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.

Stonehill Environmental Partners is an energy infrastructure company based in Midland, Texas. To remain competitive, Stonehill's management recognized that artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) would be key. But how could they leverage this new technology with low data quality and inconsistency from a disjointed mix of control hardware and software?

This is where Gold-certified Ignition integratorand IoT-certified OptoPartner Edge Controls comes in. With oil and gas as one of their specialties, Edge Controls was the perfect partner to tackle the challenges Stonehill was facing.

Visit the Ignition Discover Gallery for all the application details as lead SCADA engineer for Edge Controls, Travis Broussard, walks you through the challenges they faced. He'll also discuss the key design considerations for new SCADA systems and how leveraging the unique strengths of Opto 22's hardware (groov  EPIC and groov  RIO) with Ignition enabled rapid deployment of field sites.
