The document provides an overview of a presentation on Ignition, a new SCADA platform built for speed. It introduces Ignition and discusses common pain points with traditional SCADA systems, such as lengthy project start times, development processes, and deployment of updates. Ignition aims to address these issues by offering features like rapid installation, unlimited concurrent development, and single-click deployment without taking clients offline. The presentation also includes demos and a panel discussion from system integrators on how Ignition has helped reduce costs and increase efficiency.

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.
