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.

Get a behind-the-scenes look at Opto 22's journey from render to reality for the demo panels built specifically for the Ignition Community Conference Build-a-Thon.

In early 2022, Benson Hougland (Opto 22 VP of Marketing and Product Strategy) called the Opto team together and said “I’ve got a great project for us, and you're going to love it...the ICC Build-a-Thon!”

Undeniably "the premier event in competitive SCADA," the ICC Build-a-Thon is the major highlight of the annual Inductive Community Conference (ICC), organized by Inductive Automation and held every year in Folsom, CA. It is a showcase and live competition for system integrators who use Ignition software, a platform for building industrial automation and control systems.

If you couldn’t attend the Ignition Community Conference or want a closer look, here’s your chance to experience it recorded with Opto 22's groov EPIC booth cam.

With the expertise of Alex Marcy from Corso Systems and Jason Hamlin from Inframark, we captured live booth footage using an off-the-shelf, IP-based camera, Ignition Edge, its MQTT Transmission module, and Node-RED, all running on a single groov EPIC.
