Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) software plays an important role in industrial organizations today. However, the licensing, development, and support models of traditional SCADA software make it difficult to be as competitive and cost-effective as the modern marketplace demands. Ignition software is The New SCADA, an unlimited platform with unlimited licensing. Ignition is designed with affordability in mind, so that you can put less of your budget into software expenditures and invest more into innovating and growing your business. In this webinar, Inductive Automation Chief Strategy Officer Don Pearson and a panel of experienced industrial professionals discussed how organizations like yours are can save money with Ignition — and how to start getting a lot more out of your SCADA system for a lot less. Find out how to reduce costs in: - Software licensing - System scalability - Project development - Support and training - And more

9. The Purpose of SCADA
• Industrial organizations use Supervisory
Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)
systems to:
◦ Maintain efficiency & 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:
• Time: 90’s-based, not IT-friendly, too slow
& inefficient for modern manufacturing
• Money: clients & designers sold
separately, licensed by the seat, high
support fees, etc.
• Workability: not cross-platform, no
relational-database support, limited
development capabilities, etc.

11. The New SCADA, Built with Affordability in Mind
• Our founder worked as a system integrator for
25 years.
• Dealing with expensive SCADA licensing and
other pain points inspired him to build a better
solution – which led to the development of
Ignition.
• Ignition is The New SCADA that replaces
traditional SCADA.

President & CEO Steve Hechtman
