- 6. Digital Transformation ● Definition: The transformation of industrial products, operations, value chains, and aftermarket services that are enabled through the augmentation of people and knowledge, through the expanded use of sensors, data and analytics. – According to the ARC Advisory Group
- 7. Digital Transformation Benefits: ● Reduce operating costs ● Reduce unscheduled downtime ● Improve asset performance ● Optimize supply chain ● Increase capacity ● Increase employee engagement – According to the ARC Advisory Group
- 8. Digital Transformation ● “The digital disruption and transformation of the industrial sphere is one of the world’s current megatrends, affecting companies representing two-thirds of global GDP.” – Eric Schaffer, Industry X.0
- 9. The Trough of Disillusionment
- 10. Digital Transformation How do we get from where we are to where we need to be? How do we get from where we are to where we need to be?
- 11. The Old Way of Building Systems • HMI attached to critical machine and communicating directly to PLC • Proprietary SCADA system connected to HMI, and often used as middleware • Proprietary database • Licensed by number of clients and tags
- 12. Obstacle: Perception of ‘Rip and Replace’ • Very expensive • Very disruptive to business • Steep learning curve • Takes a long time to see ROI
- 13. Obstacle: Gap Between OT and IT • Siloed environments, different roles • Proprietary vs. open • They need to work together to achieve scalable IIoT
- 14. Obstacle: Proprietary Systems • Difficult to support • Vendor lock-in • Difficult to get more data
- 15. Obstacle: Balancing Accessibility and Security • The business side needs to access data from OT • Younger workers want to leverage mobile devices • Keep system safe from increasing threats
- 16. Obstacle: Working with the Cloud • Flexibility for hybrid architectures? • How to get OT data into the cloud? • How to leverage data for higher-level capabilities?
- 17. Obstacle: Cost, Licensing, ROI • Pay for every client and tag • Implementation costs • Maintenance costs • But what if we could see the value quickly?
- 18. Easy Steps to a Better Architecture How do we overcome these obstacles and move to a scalable IIoT architecture?
- 19. Easy Steps to a Better Architecture 1. Add Ignition in parallel to existing systems. 2. Add MQTT Transmission. 3. Add edge computing. 4. Add new devices and sensors. 5. Get data out to more people. 6. Get data up to the cloud.
- 20. Step 1: Add Ignition in Parallel to Existing Systems • Connect to the data and do more with it • Reduce manual work and info on paper • Add history, alarms, reporting & much more • Get data to more people on the plant floor
- 21. Step 1: Add Ignition in Parallel to Existing Systems • As many clients, tags, and connections as you need • Choose any major operating system • Bridge OT and IT • With Ignition in place, start building a new architecture • Price point: $10,000-15,000
- 22. Step 2: Add MQTT Transmission • Add the MQTT Transmission Module to Ignition to publish data to an MQTT server
- 23. Step 2: Add MQTT Transmission Why MQTT? • Leading messaging protocol for IIoT • Publish/subscribe protocol • Extremely lightweight, reduces network bandwidth consumption by 80-90% • Bidirectional • Built-in stateful awareness • Secured with TCP/IP technology (TLS)
- 24. Step 2: Add MQTT Transmission Decouple Devices from Applications: • Connect your devices to infrastructure • Access much more device data • Single source of truth for tags • Provide a superior OT solution
- 25. Step 2: Add MQTT Transmission • Add the MQTT Transmission Module to Ignition to publish data to an MQTT server • Price points: ○ Start with MQTT Transmission ($1350) ○ Add MQTT Engine & MQTT Distributor ($4850)
- 26. Step 3: Add Edge Computing • Introduce edge devices into the architecture • Push polling out closer to where remote PLCs are located
- 27. Ignition Edge • Eases the difficulty of collecting data at the edge of the network • A line of lightweight Ignition solutions for embedding into edge devices • Extends data collection, visualization, and system management
- 28. Ignition Edge - Expanded Product Line ● Ignition Edge Panel ● Ignition Edge Compute ● Ignition Edge Sync Services ● Ignition Edge EAM ● Ignition Edge IIoT
- 30. New Ignition Onboard Web Portal • Find devices easily on the new Ignition Onboard web portal • Browse by device type or company to find the best solution for your needs
- 32. • groov EPIC combines: • Real-time controller • Operator Interface • Gateway • I/O system • Starts at $2295 with Ignition Edge
- 34. Step 4: Add New Devices and Sensors • Areas without PLCs or where information is not connected to PLCs • Add devices and sensors to capture I/O data and connect it to infrastructure
- 35. • groov RIO • 8 multi-signal, multifunction channels, 2 mechanical relays • 61,260 unique I/O combinations • Secure web server for configuration • PoE or line powered • MQTT Sparkplug B • USB for data storage or Wi-Fi • Only $745
- 37. Step 5: Get Data Out to More People
- 44. Ignition Perspective Module • Affordably make more data visible and accessible to more people • Price point: $8000 for the standard Perspective Module
- 46. The “Proposition” for Industrial Digital Transformation Operational Data
- 48. The “Reality” of Digital Transformation Operational Data “Ignition-based Digital Transformation uniquely addresses the fundamental issue that current OT infrastructures simply are not conducive to the requirements of Digital Transformation.” Decouple, Provide a “Single Source of Truth, Create a Superior OT solution. Then start on your Digital Transformation journey!
