9. IIoT and Digital Transformation
● Digital Transformation is more than just a buzzword; it involves a complete
overhaul of the way companies collect and use their data.
● While it has huge potential, many companies are missing the full capabilities
of Digital Transformation because they are starting in the wrong place.

13. Data Access and Insight
● The majority of companies are only accessing 10% of their full data
● Even when companies do have the potential to access more data, they don’t
know how to harness it, or what to do with it once they have it
● Analytics, OEE, Downtime, and other tracking systems need to be applied in
order to use their data for increased efficiency or productivity.
● There are many modules that can generate valuable data insight like:
○ MES
Data Access and Insight
• The majority of companies are only accessing 10-20% of their full data.
• Even when companies do have the potential to access more data, they
don’t know how to harness it, or what to do with it once they have it.
• Analytics, OEE, Downtime, and other tracking systems need to be
applied in order to use their data for increased efficiency or productivity.

14. Data Access and Insight
Data Access and Insight
Discussion:
• Are there ways to easily expand data access?
• Once your customers have access to more data, what are easy ways
they can use those insights to improve their systems?

15. Data Integrity and Compliance

16. Data Integrity and Compliance
Data Integrity and Compliance
Discussion:
• What are some of the challenges your industry is facing with data
integrity and compliance?
• How are you handling those challenges? What approaches to data
integrity do you find most effective?

17. Security
Security
• Securing your system means protecting against cyber attacks, as well as
leveraging SSL or other role-based security protocols, and more.
• Ignition was built from the ground up to be secure, and we’re rolling out
new security features regularly, including:
○ SSO
○ Federated Identity Infrastructure
○ Supports 2FA

18. Security
Discussion:
• How does adding new technologies impact system security?
• What security challenges do you see being the largest hurdles for
companies and system integrators to overcome today?
• What practical advice do you offer your customers when they want to
increase their system security?

19. Security
• In 2016, Mobile devices surpassed personal computers as the dominant
computing device in the world; as of 2019 there are 5 billion mobile
phone users worldwide.
• Mobile phones are used for:
○ Remote monitoring
○ Mobile HMIs
○ Tablet use has increased across all industries
○ Proliferation of mobile devices has fueled the vision for IIoT
• Mobile SCADA is not without challenges

23. Mobile SCADA & Technology
Machine Learning
• Machine learning data models can be sent from the cloud back down to
affect plant floor equipment, fulfilling the promise of Digital Transformation.
• Machine Learning is a great tool that can be challenging to implement and
requires a great deal of data
• Ignition is a great place Machine Learning asset:
○ It provides you with all the data you need to start ML
○ It connects to machine learning platforms, like AWS Greengrass.

24. Machine Learning/Advanced Analytics
Machine Learning and Advanced Analytics
• In what ways are you seeing companies apply machine learning at
this point?

25. Changing Skills for Integrators
Changing Skills for Integrators
The skill set required to be an integrator is quickly evolving.
• Integrators have to be knowledgeable about new technologies
• They work with legacy systems that often aren’t built for today’s
technical requirements
• They have to train the next generation of engineers

26. Changing Skills for Integrators
Changing Skills for Integrators
Discussion:
• What skills do you see becoming more necessary for integrators in
the future? Less necessary?
• What advice do you have for students who are interested in industrial
integration or other careers in control systems?
