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.

Three new partners, a palletizer on an Allen-Bradley PLC, and secure remote access to your legacy PLCs on demand.
If you're heading to the Ignition Community Conference next week, block out Wednesday morning at 9:00 a.m. The ACME Dynamite factory we brought to Automate has grown since May, and ICC is your chance to see it live.
Quick refresher: ACME is a fictional dynamite plant built by real automation companies to answer a practical question: what happens when you pick the best tool for each layer instead of buying one vendor's whole stack?
Two lines batch and discharge product following ISA-88. Line 1 runs a well-tuned loop, Line 2 is deliberately untuned, and the trends show you what good tuning is worth. Everything on the screen is live. Go look: op22.co/acme.
Since our earlier post, we've added three partners and three new pieces of plant. You'll want to check it out.

New case study shows you how Optimum Technologies overcame a lack of experience in industrial controls to quickly build an entirely new thermal vacuum facility.
Can you build a sophisticated test and control system in just one week—with no controls experience?
Optimum Technologies did. Discover how they used groov EPIC to quickly build a thermal vacuum test system, streamline data collection and control, and even uncover a problem with their new test chamber.
Get the details from this new case study, and see what you can take away for your own automation project.

New case study explores a city's need for real-time visibility of its critical infrastructure—all through remote monitoring.
When you’re responsible for critical infrastructure spread across a city, knowing what’s happening at every site can be a major challenge.
For Kuala Lumpur’s River of Life project, operators needed real-time visibility into 25 remote pumping and treatment sites—without relying on routine site visits to discover problems.
See how their engineering team made a distributed infrastructure easier to manage.
