In the first period of our meetup-series we introduced the Smart Factory, based on the 0-2 levels of the ANSI/ISA-95 model.
We have presented the specifications of the discrete and the process manufacturing. Also showcased the industrial automation from the physical sensors to the SCADA/HMI systems from the Smart Factory's point of view.
Smart manufacturing is a process, not a project. Start with one machine, one cell, one line. Review what data you can collect, analyze and present, and the outcomes of possessing the resulting knowledge. If the impact is negligible, move on to something else. The data and its source are not going to disappear. Note it and come back when it is important.

In this webinar, we will talk about the importance of IoT and how Cumulocity uses a 'plug and play' approach to connect, manage, and extend your devices with easy workflow integration to business applications.
In 2012, The Economist claimed we were entering the third industrial revolution based on the digitization of manufacturing, also referred to as the “smart factory.” The development and adoption of the Internet of Things is a critical element of smart manufacturing as reduced sensor device cost, and increased connectivity and in-memory processing give manufacturers the ability to gather and use data to increase product quality and transform operations. IT organizations are increasingly involved with the management, security and governance of this data as equipment and products are connected to the internet. This session will provide a practical framework for evaluating ways to improve sensor enablement, transaction processes and analytics based on real-world customer examples.
Industry 4.0 has widespread application across Industries (Manufacturing, Logistics, Mobility etc.). In case of manufacturing and processing industries Industry 4.0 means Smart Manufacturing using IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things or simply Industrial IoT) in a connected smart factory.
It enables an Organization to make smart data-driven decisions based on Big Data, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. Industry 4.0 IIoT has several benefits such as Resource Optimization, Cost Reduction, Automation, Predictive Maintenance and Prescriptive Analytics and Control etc.
For many, web-scale IT is an alien and drastic approach being met with fear and resistance. So the first question for any organization should be; what is it? Cameron Haight, Gartner’s chief of research for infrastructure and operations, coined the term “Web-scale IT” earlier 2014 as a way to describe the new ways organizations leverage technology to provide their customers with content quickly and at massive scale.

Digital technologies are exerting strong influence on oil and gas. Sensors generate data, artificial intelligence reads the data, robots use the data, cloud stores the data, blockchain provides the trust and confidence in the systems.
OSGi & Java in Industrial IoT - More than a Solid Trend - Essential to Scale ...mfrancis
OSGi Community Event 2016 Keynote Presentation by Robert Andres (Eurotech) & Walter Hofmann (Hitachi High Technologies)
With the promise of “real” IoT, the requirements for computational capabilities and agility at the edge demand IT-centric architectures and solutions that are based on open and industry standards. “IoT stacks” that are built on OSGi and Java’s solid foundation ensure effective modular software development and management on abstracted hardware.
Total cost of ownership in these IoT solutions matters a lot more than the simple combined hardware and software cost per edge node. Sophisticated software elements – including business intelligence tools, databases, and analytics packages – leverage data remotely and centrally to achieve the best results for customers. A perfect example of an analytics solution using such an approach is the predictive maintenance solution that Hitachi offers, leveraging Eurotech’s IoT hardware and software building blocks that heavily rely on OSGi.

De-Risk Your Digital Transformation — And Reduce Time, Cost & ComplexityInductive Automation
Although many manufacturers want to get a Digital Transformation project going, they feel hesitant about investing major time and effort into a project that may not deliver the desired results. However, just imagine if you could achieve a quick win for Digital Transformation in only 90 minutes!
In order to succeed at Digital Transformation, organizations must plan and carry it out at the levels of process, technology, and culture. Because it is an all-encompassing and ongoing endeavor, the pain points associated with Digital Transformation can be more complex than those you’d encounter when doing something like a SCADA system upgrade or a first-time OEE project.
Although SCADA systems are the backbone of modern manufacturing, they are not immune to pain points. While new difficulties have arisen with the need for enterprise-wide Digital Transformation and implementation of IIoT-enabled technologies, many of the issues afflicting integrators and end users have persisted for years.
Ignition 8.1 was released in late 2020, bringing many exciting new features like Perspective Workstation, Perspective Symbols, Power Chart, and plenty more. Ignition 8.2 will still be in the works for a while, but that doesn't mean that you have to wait long for new features and improvements. The Ignition software development team puts out “release train” updates nearly every month, and each one comes loaded with significant features that are based on user requests.
Solving Data Problems to Accelerate Digital Transformation.pptxInductive Automation
One of the biggest Digital Transformation challenges companies face is how to make the most of their data. Problems like stranded data, lengthy setup times for systems, and difficulties bringing IT and OT data together inhibit an organization’s ability to gather insights. Without these insights to fuel the decision-making process, many companies end up stalled on their Digital Transformation journey.
Cybersecurity is a moving target. The techniques and technologies of yesteryear won’t necessarily protect your system in this highly interconnected era of IIoT-enabled systems. As attacks on industrial control systems become increasingly commonplace, it’s more vital than ever to stay up to date on the latest in security best practices to mitigate risk and maintain peace of mind.
The traditional human-machine interface (HMI) is a hardware-and-software solution used to view and track data in all kinds of industrial settings. Lately, supply-chain problems have led to long wait times when ordering traditional HMIs. But don't worry: It’s easy to turn any panel PC into an Ignition HMI solution, and in this webinar we'll show you how!
In our smartphone-dominated world, developers need to make HMI screens and applications that will look great on small, medium, and large devices. Are you familiar with the mobile-responsive layout strategies that make this possible?
Today it seems like every company is embarking on a journey of Digital Transformation. While this is a necessary shift, only those companies that see the big picture will succeed at it, which means looking at not only the technological aspect of Digital Transformation but its wider impact on processes, people, and programs.
Successful Digital Transformation calls for a platform that can work with existing industrial processes and software while enabling innovation in those areas. It also calls for a platform that team members across the organization can get onboard with and use to collaborate. In this webinar, experts from Inductive Automation will share insights into all this and more, so don’t skip this one!
After navigating many unforeseen challenges in 2020 and 2021, how should system integrators move forward in 2022? The answer will be different for every integrator, which is why we’ve gathered a group of experienced integration professionals who work in a variety of areas and industries to talk about what lies ahead.
Start off the new year with us as we explore many of the issues encountered at the intersection of automation and innovation. Together, we’ll uncover insights to help you focus and thrive in a rapidly changing world.
Every day, the worlds of OT and IT continue to blend together and access to data becomes more vital. That’s why it’s more important than ever to embrace modern technology and security standards through collaboration with IT to provide more robust, efficient automation systems and minimize cybersecurity risks.
There is a huge amount of data out there and a great deal of power and insight that we can gain from it — if we can just bring it all into focus and make it more manageable. Many industrial organizations are accomplishing this by building sophisticated HMI, SCADA, and MES projects with the Ignition Perspective Module.
Common Project Mistakes: Visualization, Alarms, and SecurityInductive Automation
Whether you’re a seasoned professional or new to industrial automation, everyone makes development mistakes now and then. But some mistakes are more common than others. Understanding how to avoid these integration issues will not only improve your current projects, but equip you with the tools and techniques necessary to streamline development and reduce rework in the future.
When first designing industrial automation projects, it’s easy to make some common mistakes that can make integrating harder than it needs to be and cause headaches down the road. The best way to set yourself up for success is to recognize best practices as soon as possible. Not only does this save time on rework and future development, but it also allows for more predictability, better organization, and increased functionality.
The DevOps methodology integrates development and operations so that system changes can get rolled out quickly without causing unplanned downtime. Industrial organizations that successfully implement DevOps will have a strong advantage, but knowing how to get started can be a real challenge.
In a world rocked by the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), the mobile revolution, Digital Transformation, and COVID-19, supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) remains an essential technology system for manufacturers. However, a SCADA system that was “good enough” 10 or 15 years ago will not be adequate in today’s environment. Before adopting or upgrading to a new SCADA system, you must be certain that it offers the power and flexibility your organization needs to adapt to these unfolding changes.
Design Like a Pro: How to Pick the Right System ArchitectureInductive Automation
Whether your automation project has only a few tags or hundreds of thousands of tags, you need to make sure that it will work properly now and that it has enough room to grow in the future. Having the right architecture and server sizes are absolutely essential in reaching this goal.
In the two years since its release, the Ignition Perspective Module has quickly set the standard for modern visualization systems in the industrial space. As the developers of Ignition have expanded and matured the module’s features, innovative users and integrators around the globe have used it as a canvas for building large and sophisticated projects in HMI, SCADA, MES and more.
In this webinar, see what is possible with the Ignition Perspective Module as we look inside real Perspective projects from a variety of industries. Discover how Perspective creates new opportunities by putting the plant floor in your pocket and real control at your fingertips.
Historic Opportunities: Discover the Power of Ignition's HistorianInductive Automation
The ability to store and query historical data easily and efficiently is vital to digital transformation. The Ignition Tag Historian Module has long provided a superb solution for this need and recent improvements have broadened the scope of what it can do. Is your organization harnessing the full power of historical data for a successful future?
Unlocking Greater Efficiency: The Why and How of OEE ImplementationInductive Automation
Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is a metric that has helped many industrial organizations achieve real manufacturing gains and significantly increase profits. OEE has been proven to work but that doesn’t mean that simply calculating your organization’s OEE number or installing OEE software will cause the results you want to materialize. Ultimately it’s not just OEE data that makes a difference — it’s what you do with it.
In this webinar, experts from Inductive Automation and Sepasoft will share compelling insights about why OEE is so valuable and what it takes to implement OEE successfully. No matter which industry your organization is in, this informative presentation can help you get this year off to a more efficient start.

How to Position Your Globus Data Portal for Success Ten Good PracticesGlobus
Science gateways allow science and engineering communities to access shared data, software, computing services, and instruments. Science gateways have gained a lot of traction in the last twenty years, as evidenced by projects such as the Science Gateways Community Institute (SGCI) and the Center of Excellence on Science Gateways (SGX3) in the US, The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) and its platforms in Australia, and the projects around Virtual Research Environments in Europe. A few mature frameworks have evolved with their different strengths and foci and have been taken up by a larger community such as the Globus Data Portal, Hubzero, Tapis, and Galaxy. However, even when gateways are built on successful frameworks, they continue to face the challenges of ongoing maintenance costs and how to meet the ever-expanding needs of the community they serve with enhanced features. It is not uncommon that gateways with compelling use cases are nonetheless unable to get past the prototype phase and become a full production service, or if they do, they don't survive more than a couple of years. While there is no guaranteed pathway to success, it seems likely that for any gateway there is a need for a strong community and/or solid funding streams to create and sustain its success. With over twenty years of examples to draw from, this presentation goes into detail for ten factors common to successful and enduring gateways that effectively serve as best practices for any new or developing gateway.

Custom Healthcare Software for Managing Chronic Conditions and Remote Patient...Mind IT Systems
Healthcare providers often struggle with the complexities of chronic conditions and remote patient monitoring, as each patient requires personalized care and ongoing monitoring. Off-the-shelf solutions may not meet these diverse needs, leading to inefficiencies and gaps in care. It’s here, custom healthcare software offers a tailored solution, ensuring improved care and effectiveness.
In software engineering, the right architecture is essential for robust, scalable platforms. Wix has undergone a pivotal shift from event sourcing to a CRUD-based model for its microservices. This talk will chart the course of this pivotal journey.
Event sourcing, which records state changes as immutable events, provided robust auditing and "time travel" debugging for Wix Stores' microservices. Despite its benefits, the complexity it introduced in state management slowed development. Wix responded by adopting a simpler, unified CRUD model. This talk will explore the challenges of event sourcing and the advantages of Wix's new "CRUD on steroids" approach, which streamlines API integration and domain event management while preserving data integrity and system resilience.
Participants will gain valuable insights into Wix's strategies for ensuring atomicity in database updates and event production, as well as caching, materialization, and performance optimization techniques within a distributed system.
Join us to discover how Wix has mastered the art of balancing simplicity and extensibility, and learn how the re-adoption of the modest CRUD has turbocharged their development velocity, resilience, and scalability in a high-growth environment.

Cross-facility research orchestration comes with ever-changing constraints regarding the availability and suitability of various compute and data resources. In short, a flexible data and processing fabric is needed to enable the dynamic redirection of data and compute tasks throughout the lifecycle of an experiment. In this talk, we illustrate how we easily leveraged Globus services to instrument the ACE research testbed at the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility with flexible data and task orchestration capabilities.
Providing Globus Services to Users of JASMIN for Environmental Data AnalysisGlobus
JASMIN is the UK’s high-performance data analysis platform for environmental science, operated by STFC on behalf of the UK Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). In addition to its role in hosting the CEDA Archive (NERC’s long-term repository for climate, atmospheric science & Earth observation data in the UK), JASMIN provides a collaborative platform to a community of around 2,000 scientists in the UK and beyond, providing nearly 400 environmental science projects with working space, compute resources and tools to facilitate their work. High-performance data transfer into and out of JASMIN has always been a key feature, with many scientists bringing model outputs from supercomputers elsewhere in the UK, to analyse against observational or other model data in the CEDA Archive. A growing number of JASMIN users are now realising the benefits of using the Globus service to provide reliable and efficient data movement and other tasks in this and other contexts. Further use cases involve long-distance (intercontinental) transfers to and from JASMIN, and collecting results from a mobile atmospheric radar system, pushing data to JASMIN via a lightweight Globus deployment. We provide details of how Globus fits into our current infrastructure, our experience of the recent migration to GCSv5.4, and of our interest in developing use of the wider ecosystem of Globus services for the benefit of our user community.

12. What the Industrial Edge is and What Makes It Different?
Technology Infrastructure located on or near
production operations for:
• Data collection
• Data analysis
• Data storage
Operating at the Edge has unique characteristics:
• Can be in remote locations
• No local IT skills to provide service
• Multiple applications running at the Edge i.e.
Analytics
• Criticality of local data
• Unique security needs
• Used on devices, such as PLCs/PACs, Drives,
etc. where plant will not embrace the cloud
Edge Devices Are One of the Fastest Growing Areas of Industrial Automation
Oil and Gas
Food and Beverage Agriculture
Rail and Transit
14. Factory of the Future Will Run on Advanced Analytics
• Operational Intelligence powered by Machine Learning will determine best practices, avoid risk, and
optimize production operations
• Manufacturing processes and records represents the largest repository of Big Data across all of business
and industry (Bureau of Labor Statistics)
• Prescriptive Analytics, will bring together big data, statistical sciences, rules-based logic, and machine
learning to empirically discover and reveal the origins of the complex problems, and then determine
decision-based options to resolve them.
28. Cybersecurity – What are We Trying to Protect?
• Endpoints
• Included - Devices that are used are commonly used within plants or remote SCADA
systems and have a direct impact on operations – e.g. Servers, Workstations, PLCs,
DCS, RTU, embedded systems, etc..
• Included – Laptops and other equipment that may be brought into plants or remote
SCADA sites for maintenance, etc..
• Excluded – Personal devices like smartphones, IIoT devices located outside the
plant, etc..
• Networks
• Included - Industrial networks used within plants or remote SCADA systems to
interconnect control system endpoints – e.g. networks for Levels 1, 2,3, and DMZs.
• Excluded - Networks used by applications outside the plant or remote SCADA
system to communicate with the control system – e.g. SCADA networks, enterprise
networks, etc.
29. • Premises
• Network and endpoint security solutions have become commonplace in industrial
control systems (anti-malware software, next-gen firewalls, etc..).
• Adoption of advanced solutions like application whitelisting and deep packet
inspection (DPI) firewalls is also growing.
• Despite these efforts, cyber intrusions continue and remain a serious concern for
industrial companies.
• Questions Manufacturers Have:
• Is lack of cybersecurity maintenance the major issue?
• Have we reached the practical limit of what can be done with technology to keep
attackers out of our systems?
• Do we need some other technology solutions to address gaps in the current
solution set?
• Do we have to accept that attackers will get into our assets and shift our attention
to rapid detection and better incident management?
Cybersecurity – What’s Really Needed to Secure Industrial Systems?
36. Creating Modern, Open Enterprise Architectures in the IIoT Age
• Open architectures that decouple applications from devices enables enterprise to get needed
data without interrupting operations at plants
• Example: Coupled architecture using a poll-response protocol on left; decoupled
architecture using publish-subscribe protocol on right
• Conventional System Architecture: Intelligent devices such as PLCs, coupled to applications
through proprietary protocols, any application can interact with any connected device
• SCADA software communicates with PLCs software often used as middleware because
it has protocols needed to do so
37. Creating Modern, Open Enterprise Architectures in the IIoT Age
• Decoupled Architecture: Applications not connected to devices, devices connected to
infrastructure so applications can subscribe to required data
• Rather than using SCADA as middleware, decoupled architectures often use message-
oriented middleware, i.e.: MQTT
• Devices publish data by exception up to central MQTT broker (on-premise or cloud), SCADA
can subscribe to data, same data as ERP, MES, BI, etc.
• Programs have direct access to data, plug & play device interoperability
• Decoupled architecture provides single source of truth for tag info, better & simplified
connectivity between sensors & applications across enterprise
38. Creating Modern, Open Enterprise Architectures in the IIoT Age
• MQTT differentiated by lightweight overhead of two-
byte header, publish/subscribe model, & bi-directional
capabilities, need minimal network bandwidth
• MQTT collects data from many devices, transports
data to IT infrastructure, real-time, mission-critical
SCADA systems, payload is data-agnostic
• Used in applications: Facebook Messenger, Amazon’s
AWS IoT service, IBM’s messaging middleware systems
• Ignition’s OPC UA server provides connectivity to
multiple protocols
• Ignition’s open API facilities interaction & data-sharing
between applications driver development for protocols,
i.e.: MQTT
39. Creating Modern, Open Enterprise Architectures in the IIoT Age
• Companies with multiple, disparate brownfield plants must
standardize data & data models
• Need tools to convert data to interoperable format
• Edge gateways next to PLCs poll PLC data into decoupled,
message-oriented middleware structure
• Develop while existing SCADA directly communicates
with PLCs then transition to new architecture
• Vital to have solution that integrates tools for business
intelligence, machine learning, open-source software, IoT,
Edge computing, and business management
Going forward, invest in solutions that integrate with other
solutions to avoid data islands
