The document summarizes a presentation on Ignition, a new SCADA platform built for speed. It introduces Ignition and discusses its advantages over traditional SCADA systems in areas like getting projects started quickly, shortening development time through features like concurrent editing, easy deployment and updates without taking systems offline, and real-time access to plant data. Industry representatives then provide examples of how Ignition has helped them and their customers work more efficiently.

6. Ignition: Industrial Application Platform
One Universal Platform for SCADA, MES & IIoT:
• Unlimited licensing model
• Cross-platform compatibility
• Based on IT-standard technologies
• Scalable server-client architecture
• Web-managed & web-managed
• Web-launched on desktop or mobile
• Modular configurability
• Rapid development & deployment
9. The Purpose of SCADA
• SCADA stands for Supervisory Control
and Data Acquisition
• Many industries use SCADA systems to:
◦ Maintain efficiency and mitigate downtime
◦ Control industrial processes (local or remote)
◦ Monitor, gather, and process real-time data
◦ Interact with devices through HMI software
◦ Record events into a log file
10. The Problem with SCADA
SCADA pain points:
• Based on 90’s technology
• Not IT-friendly
• Bottom line: Traditional SCADA is too
slow and inefficient to keep up with the
needs of modern manufacturing.
11. The New SCADA, Built for Speed
Ignition was designed to solve SCADA pain
points:
• Our founder worked as a system integrator for
25 years.
• Dealing with the SCADA pain points inspired
him to build a better solution – and that led
eventually to the creation of Ignition.
• Ignition is The New SCADA that replaces
traditional SCADA.

13. The New SCADA, Built for Speed
• Two important aspects of speed:
- The performance of the software
- The rate at which problems can be solved
with Ignition
• Continually improving performance and
eliminating tedious tasks
17. Getting Projects Started
Pain Point:
Installation takes hours, days, or weeks.
Solution:
The Ignition server installs in under 3 minutes.
Runtime clients deploy in seconds.
19. Getting Projects Started
Pain Point:
Activating licensing is a headache.
Solution:
Simple, fast, 24/7/365 activation. Transferring licensing is a
snap.
21. Getting Projects Started
Panel discussion:
How has Ignition helped to get projects going
quicker, whether through fast downloading,
installation, activation, or some other way?
23. Design and Development
Pain Point:
The development process can stretch on for months.
Solution:
Ignition shortens development time to just days or weeks or days.
25. Design and Development
Pain Point:
Designers don’t support concurrent development.
Solution:
Unlimited designer clients allow multiple developers
to work on many projects at the same time.
27. Design and Development
Panel discussion:
What are some ways that Ignition saves time in development, and
how has that impacted your business?
28. Deployment, Updates & Upgrades
Pain Point:
Deploying applications to runtime clients is tedious and takes
clients offline.
29. Deployment, Updates & Upgrades
Pain Point:
Deploying applications to runtime clients is
tedious and takes clients offline.
Solution:
Single-click deployment, immediate updates,
clients stay online.
30. Deployment, Updates & Upgrades
Pain Point:
You have to shut down to add functionality.
31. Deployment, Updates & Upgrades
Pain Point:
You have to shut down to
add functionality.
Solution:
Hot-pluggable modules allow
you to add functionality
without shutting down your system.
33. Deployment, Updates & Upgrades
Panel Discussion:
For tasks like deploying applications, making updates, and
upgrading functionality, how is Ignition different than other
solutions, and how much difference does that make for your
customers?
38. Recap
Ignition saves time by letting you:
• Get projects going quickly by downloading the full version, 3-minute
installation, and easy activation anytime.
• Shorten development time with features such as concurrent
development.
