Is your SCADA system holding you back? See how the Wheeler Ridge-Maricopa Water Storage District fixed their outdated systems.

If you’re managing critical infrastructure, how much do you trust your SCADA system? Are you getting real-time, reliable data, or are you constantly battling delays, communication failures, and rising maintenance costs?

Wheeler Ridge-Maricopa Water Storage District faced those same challenges—until they partnered with Avadine, an IoT-certified OptoPartner, to upgrade their SCADA system. Read about their new solution and how they got there.

Learn the powerful results you can achieve when using Ignition, groov EPIC, and 4IR Solutions' Factory Stack™ cloud platform together.

As shown in a recent webinar here on the OptoBlog, Inductive Automation often brings together its solutions partners (including Opto 22) to demonstrate complete solution packages. 

When using collaborative technologies, you see increased benefits—including an easier path to digital transformation and finally getting the data you need, where you need it.

This Inductive Automation case study is an excellent example of how using a combined solution allowed a glass company to achieve a lean manufacturing goal with a unified reporting system, along with increased efficiency in production.

Learn from the City of Morro Bay's dynamic operations and see how your systems could be adapted for real-time data.

Managing multiple control systems doesn’t have to be a headache. When Operational Technology Specialist Grant Chase went to work in Morro Bay, California, he found a utilities infrastructure in need of unification and stability. 

The city’s water and wastewater control systems were a patchwork of different technologies—some dating back decades.

Grant was determined to rebuild a standardized operation with key security controls in place to protect critical infrastructure. See how edge controller technology played a prominent role in getting operators working smoothly on one platform to visualize data across all processes.

OptoPartner eBiZolution teams up with local authorities in the Philippines to enhance traffic monitoring systems with groov RIO.

See how Costa Farms optimized large-scale operations with live production data from groov RIO edge I/O.

Accelerated growth in any industry can result in gaps in production tracking as a business experiences growing pains. Is your machinery interacting with other systems to produce meaningful data? 

Costa Farms had to face this obstacle as it shifted its focus toward optimizing operational efficiency to keep up with large-scale production needs.

See how groov RIO edge I/O came to the rescue in this new case study.

Read how MAC Automation, an IoT Certified OptoPartner, and EnerCorp use Ignition SCADA with groov EPICs and RIOs to automate sand removal and management in oil and gas.

Handling sand in oil and gas flowback systems is both critical and challenging. Left unchecked, sand can damage equipment, leading to leaks and costly system shutdowns. Manual handling of flowback systems exposes workers to hazardous materials, heavy equipment, and high-pressure environments. 

Together, MAC Automation and EnerCorp have automated the dangerous and labor-intensive process.

Laundry OEM Gurtler Industries reinvents their dispensing systems with groov EPIC and Opto 22's free Software Development Kits (SDKs).

What do you do when competitors in the chemical storage and dispensing industry are surpassing you, and a shift in technology is needed to put you back at the forefront of laundry operations?

Learn how Gurtler Industries, a third-generation family business based in the United States Midwest, regained its position as a leading provider of laundry chemical products, services, and support for many industries including healthcare, hospitality, and textile rentals. When their competitors began leveraging data collection, remote monitoring, and enhanced visualizations, Gurtler knew they also needed to expand the capabilities of their dispensing systems to maintain their competitive market position.

In this case study, find out how Gurtler Industries was able to stay ahead of the competition by transitioning to an open-source platform with Opto 22's free Software Development Kits (SDKs) and advanced hardware solutions.

How do you go from serial comms to serious SCADA without downtime or compromise?

Based in Cincinnati, Ohio, Varland Plating has provided high quality, precision barrel-plated finishes to their customers since 1946. Varland manually performed plating operations until the early 1990s. Then automated systems improved turnaround times and product quality. More recently, the company saw the advanced capabilities of Opto 22's groov products—smaller equipment footprint, Ethernet, data visibility, and more—and entered a new era of industrial automation.

In this case study, find out how Varland Plating was able to bring a 30-year-old automation system into the future without downtime or compromising their SCADA goals.
