What happens to hard-won expertise when experienced people retire? You're probably facing the same question. We talked about it with U.S. Secretary of Labor Keith Sonderling.

Somewhere in your operation is a person who knows why that pump sequence runs the way it does. Maybe they wrote the original logic. Maybe they've fixed it enough times to know its quirks. Either way, a lot of what they know isn't written down, and someday they're going to retire.

That problem was on the table when U.S. Secretary of Labor Keith Sonderling visited Opto 22's headquarters in Temecula, California, on October 22 for a tour and a roundtable with our leadership.

Let a product support engineer help you by connecting to your groov EPIC...it's FREE!

If you hit a roadblock with your automation project, the OptoSupport Remote Support Service (OptoRSS) lets a Product Support engineer connect directly to your groov EPIC to help you troubleshoot in real time.

It’s FREE and you can use the OptoRSS feature as many times as needed.

Watch Opto 22's Showcase from the Ignition Community Conference and see how easy it is to bring your plant's assets into Ignition for robust data and analytics.

Do you have critical assets operating outside Ignition?

When machine health, energy use, and environmental conditions stay dark, you find out about failures, wasted power, and downtime only after they've cost you. 

At last month's Ignition Community Conference, Benson Hougland and Garrick Reichert took the stage for a live demo of how groov devices + Ignition can overcome these challenges simply and securely.

Partnering with 7 other technology platforms (thanks to open source standards), the demo walks you through the ACME Dynamite Factory architecture. The factory may be fictional, but the data is very real. Watch:

Take advantage of new features, fixes, and improvements in this latest release of the PAC Project software suite, R10.6003.

Whether you use Opto 22's basic or professional version of the PAC Project Software Suite, you'll want to hear about some new features and enhancements just added to PAC Control as well as some fixes for PAC Display.

Here's a quick recap along with links to the release notes and update.

Read the new case study to learn how a multi-site agricultural application gained modern controls, remote monitoring, and real-time visibility.

What does it take to turn a complex industrial challenge into a smarter, more effective solution? 

DNR Systems and Boron Tech Solutions (BTS) are here to share their success story. A boron filtration system was working well at the local level, but it needed to be duplicated easily and securely on a much larger scale across hundreds of acres of farmland.

Get the details from this new case study on how DNR and BTS found the complete package to go end-to-end for fully managed SCADA to the cloud.

Attend the annual conference for FREE and learn how to connect your industrial systems with Node-RED.

Are you interested in learning more about the Node-RED programming tool?

Included in Opto 22's groov EPIC and groov RIO is Node-RED—an open-source software program that lets you wire together devices, databases, cloud applications, and APIs (application programming interfaces) using simple, pre-built logic flows.

Node-RED is used in a wide range of mission-critical applications, from city utilities and semiconductor fabs to manufacturing lines and smart buildings.

Here's a chance to attend the online Node-RED Con for free. Get all the event details and see how Node-RED can help with your application.

Experience the Ignition Community Conference through an Opto 22 perspective and learn why it's growing in relevance and attendance every year.

If you were at #ICCUnleashed in Sacramento, you felt it. If you weren't, here's the short version: the Ignition community keeps growing, and almost everyone I talked to wants the same thing, real data from their machines, new and old, flowing into Ignition.

Inductive Automation brought nearly 2,000 people to the SAFE Credit Union Convention Center September 22 to 24. That's nearly 2,000 different versions of ICC. I saw mine from behind the Opto 22 booth and from the stage as a speaker.

Here's a recap of the experience and why it's important to be a part of this growing Ignition community.

Meet Opto 22's new technology partner SORBA.ai—helping manufacturers turn operational data into actionable predictions, decisions, and automated intelligence.

What if your industrial data could do more than tell you what’s happening—it could help predict what happens next?

SORBA.ai brings no-code industrial AI and machine learning to Opto 22 systems, helping teams detect anomalies, predict equipment behavior, optimize processes, and turn operational data into actionable intelligence.

Learn how SORBA.ai integrates with groov EPIC and groov RIO—and what problems it can help you solve.
