The 10 Commandments of Protecting Your Control Network and Assets

Type: Community

When it comes to cyber defense for industrial control networks, there seems to be an overwhelming sea of information. Join ICS Security for this session on cyber defense, breaking down the challenges plant owners and system integrators face and the protective measures they can take. This session will also illuminate viewers on what Ignition has to offer in the cyber arena and will take a look at SPARTA (SCADA Protection And Real Time Alerts) and how it’s helping to prevent most cyber attacks.

Speakers: Ilan Shaya

Coming 9/15

Utilizing Ignition & MQTT for Auto-Discovery of Data Modeling and Time Series Data in AWS Cloud

Type: Community

In order to take advantage of the new technologies available through Digital Transformation, such as Big Data Analytics, Machine Learning, and Artificial Intelligence, companies must bridge the IT-OT gap, feeding the machine with secure and consumable data while also providing a superior OT solution. This session will describe how utilizing Ignition and MQTT in conjunction with AWS IoT SiteWise provides a simple and seamless integration of OT Data into a standard data model and pushes Tag data into a Time Series Database becoming instantly available for Big Data applications in AWS Cloud.

Speakers: Arlen Nipper

Coming 9/15

Breaking the Myth of Industry 4.0 with Ignition

Type: Community

Coming 9/15

Use Docker & DevOps to Dominate Deployment

Type: Community

Deploying new features, bug fixes, and updates is necessary for every production SCADA/MES installation and without an established deployment cycle, modifications to any system pose significant risk. In this session, you’ll see Git source control, Docker containerization, and DevOps methodologies that you can use to effectively develop and deploy projects with Ignition. Apply standard Dev/Test/Stage/Prod practices from the software industry to support multiple developers, reduce unplanned downtime, and realize a more efficient process for developing and deploying Ignition projects.

Speakers: Ryan Crownover

Coming 9/15

Ignition with Cloud Services

Type: Community

Cloud services like AWS and Azure used in conjunction with Ignition offer many advantages. In this session, find out how using Ignition in a cloud environment can improve your solutions at an administrative, uptime, and management level. This session will also detail the networking and security implications and solutions to ensure a robust and secure system, and will take you through examples for outage usability, highlighting Ignition Edge as a local failover.

Speakers: Dan Krohnemann, Michael Lehrich

Coming 9/15

Leveraging Container Deployments with Ignition on Docker

Type: Community

In the same way that virtualization changed the way we develop and deploy industrial software, container computing presses on as the next enabler for scalable, robust, and efficient deployments and developer workflows. Containers can help solve some of the challenges presented by today’s complex and distributed architectures. This session will demonstrate how you can leverage Ignition on Docker to model complex architectures quickly, facilitate multi-version Ignition environments, and increase density on your development systems. Join Kymera & EN Engineering as they show how you can use container concepts to achieve better simulation and load testing for your MQTT deployments. They’ll also share what they’ve learned in using Ignition on Docker and help you envision what you can create with this exciting technology!

Speakers: Kyle Chase, Kevin Collins

Coming 9/15

Secure Your Ignition the Easy Way – Setting up Ignition with a Reverse Proxy

Type: Community

Coming 9/15

Envisioning a Better Ventilator Monitoring Experience with Ignition

Type: Community

Shortly after COVID-19 was declared a pandemic, a network of more than 180 of the brightest minds in medicine and engineering assembled to design and develop an open-source ventilator that can be built quickly, at a low cost, and using commonly available components. LifeMech, the organization leading this effort, developed an Ignition-based prototype for a remote user interface that can display data from multiple ventilators simultaneously, providing nurses and physicians with a faster and safer way of monitoring patient status. This session will bring together some of the contributors to this project, including end users, system integrators and strategic partners, as they discuss this important work and how Ignition made it all possible.

Speakers: Joe Dolivo, Loe Cameron, Brian McClain, Ian Tooke
