Catch the replay of this recent Automation Ladies podcast that explores real-world use cases and practical approaches to using edge automation.

Have you been locked in to proprietary systems on your plant floor? Are you looking for open source solutions without all the hidden costs?

Opto 22's Dan White joins the Automation Ladies podcast to discuss open source architectures, the switch to edge computing in manufacturing, and the pain points that force engineers and technicians to seek solutions like groov edge devices.

Listen in:

Case study shows how SNAP-PAC-R1 controllers still help companies that require reliable digital and analog control.

As a subscriber to the OptoBlog, you know the importance of new edge technology like groov EPIC controllers and groov RIO edge I/O.

But do you have experience using Opto 22's SNAP PAC system? These "legacy" controllers are still going strong, and Opto 22 is committed to supporting and designing these products for your past, current, and future projects.

Hear from Opto 22 distributor System Devices UK as they recently shared a customer success story featuring SNAP PAC.

The Who's groovin video series is back with episode 9 and the key to monitoring radioactive waste when every second is critical.

Have you ever been involved in a controls project that was a patchwork of competing vendors and systems?

Or have you been faced with the task of integrating different systems into one platform that scales?

In this edition of Who's groovin, see how a Bulgarian engineering firm took a radioactive waste facility from mismatched hardware to a single unified SCADA platform.

Watch:

The Who's groovin video series continues with a look at how highly specialized and complicated refrigeration systems can be monitored remotely.

Do you work in a very specialized industry where downtime means major profit loss and technicians are hard to find? 

That was the problem facing CryoPhit USA, an OEM manufacturer of cryotherapy chambers. These systems produce extreme temperatures, and fixing them can be time consuming. If a machine goes down, the operator's revenue stops cold.

In episode 8 of the Who’s groovin video series, see how CryoPhit turned a hard-to-service refrigeration system into one they can diagnose remotely and predict failures for before they happen.

Watch:

New case study shows you how a SCADA integrator turned a patchworked, incomplete design specification into a streamlined monitoring solution.

How do you monitor radioactive waste activity and storage that will move continuously for decades—while collecting thousands of critical position measurements every second? 

This was the challenge facing SCADA system integrator TUVI & Co. Ltd., a Bulgarian engineering firm.

They needed to track 19,008 cell positions across 66 permanent storage cells, plus 122 in a temporary storage building. Every move has be be recorded, and every position confirmed. 

Opto 22's new case study explains how TUVI achieved it.

A new webinar series highlights the strong partnership between Inductive Automation Australia, Binford Tech, and Opto 22 to offer complete solution packages to customers in the region.

Australian engineers are increasingly asked to connect more systems, modernize aging infrastructure, improve cybersecurity, and deliver real IIoT results. Can you do it without ripping out existing systems that work?

This new two-part webinar series shows how you can.

Join Opto 22, Inductive Automation’s only hardware Premier Technology Partner, Inductive Automation Australia, and Australia-based distributor Binford Tech for a practical presentation on how modern industrial hardware can simplify secure edge deployment with Ignition.

Watch the next episode in the Who's groovin video series and see how to build secure, resilient, and scalable SCADA systems.

Would you trust a SCADA system that takes five minutes just to confirm that a pump turned on? At the Genesee County Drain Commissioner’s Division of Water and Waste Services in Michigan, they didn’t have much choice.

In this edition of the Who’s groovin video series, see how Genesee County replaced slow radio polling with edge-based MQTT Sparkplug communications—giving their operators a real-time view of what’s happening at all of their 180 sites.

Watch the video: 

New case study explains how Genesee County Drain Commissioner - Water & Waste Services solved their slow radio polling communication problem over 600 square miles.

Communication breakdowns in industrial systems aren’t just frustrating—they’re costly, disruptive, and often difficult to diagnose. 

The Genesee County Drain Commissioner Division of Water & Waste Service (GCDC-WWS) in Michigan struggled with the communication slowdowns in their legacy radio polling system. Poor alarming meant operators could not reliably fine-tune the pumping stations. With 180 remote sites across 600 square miles, these delays became unacceptable.

This new case study shows you how they solved the problem.

The Who's groovin video series continues with episode 6 and a liquid cooling strategy that can handle data center demand.  

How do you keep a data center cool when the servers inside generate far more heat than traditional cooling systems can handle? Then consider AI workloads being added to the mix and creating new challenges.

That’s when Nautilus Data Technologies knew they had to leverage a stand-out strategy: liquid cooling.

Who’s groovin episode 6 shows you how they turned years of real operating experience into a new OEM opportunity. Watch:

Learn how a manufacturing facility eliminated physical inventory counting and turned to automation for unmatched accuracy.

Are your operations struggling with production tracking and inventory discrepancies? Are manual systems slowing you down? 

OptoPartner MAC Automation was asked to solve this problem for a multi-facility manufacturing operation in the Southeastern United States and New England.

See how edge-based controls became the solution.
