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!
