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.

See what happens when you stop asking one platform to do everything.
You want the best controllers, I/O, SCADA software, MES, & cloud infrastructure—not whatever comes bundled together. The catch has always been getting them to talk. Mix vendors and you're staring at custom drivers, brittle middleware, and a cloud project that stalls because nothing speaks the same language.
But open standards changed that. When every layer speaks MQTT Sparkplug and OPC UA, best-of-breed pieces snap together simply instead of fighting each other. You pick the best tool for each job, and they still run as one system.
You don't have to take our word for it. Five companies built a factory to prove it, and you can see it right now.
