We believe that we have that core technology, the industrial application platform that is Ignition, which, incidentally, is in its tenth year now. Platforms and ecosystems, really, are built around somebody bringing a core technology and then people build around it with their expertise.

He wanted to help them solve pain points and really build successful businesses, so that was the beginning of what's grown into a full ecosystem. He was an integrator, and he wanted to market direct to integrators. You have the Edge, sort of the idea that sensor-to-cloud needs the edge to handle everything in between, and that's what we're working on now.” Ecosystems and Partnerships: Inductive Automation’s PhilosophyĪccording to Don Pearson, “First off, I think it's a good thing to talk about our philosophy, because it is a philosophy that's been driven from Steve Hechtman, our CEO, from the very beginning. Whether it's AWS or Azure or Google or IBM cloud offerings, these injector modules work with Ignition and take it right to the cloud. You can take all that sensor data, and you can get it to where something can be done with it, with advanced analytics or machine learning. They've created injector modules that allow us to connect into the cloud. The second piece is the connectivity with the cloud-and that’s what our strategic partners do, such as Cirrus Link Solutions-it’s their specialty.

Therefore, the Onboard program is taking companies, like Moxa, Advantech, Oring, Opto 22 and OnLogic, and giving them the opportunity to develop a product with Ignition Edge embedded on it, right out of the box-that's one piece. And that is what really makes it possible for manufacturers of devices at the Edge to pre-license, pre-load, ready-to-roll out-of-the-box Ignition Edge onto their actual devices.”ĭon also said, “We’ve got industrial IoT, and somehow we've got to make sure that those edge devices are part of it. The first one is regarding Edge, and one of the things that we've certainly done, and we've done it at this conference, is to really expand our Edge Onboard program. Don Pearson answered this by saying, “Let’s break that into two pieces. One of the first questions Craig asked was how Inductive Automation helps to facilitate the connectivity between Edge devices and the cloud, leveraging the company’s Edge products and solutions.
