In this webinar, experienced professionals from the water/waste water and plastics industries will discuss how they've been able to remove friction from their processes. Learn about a software platform built on modern technologies, unlimited licensing, a business approach that empowers users, and an ethical commitment to its user community. These combined elements remove operational friction by: • Exponentially decreasing the time it takes to get the data you need • Giving engineers freedom to develop systems without licensing obstacles such as limited tags or clients • Enabling new users to quickly learn the software and begin developing applications • Facilitating solutions that OT and IT can agree on • And more!

10. Friction in Business
• Slows processes down
• Impedes collaboration
• Holds companies back
• Reduce friction to increase results.

11. Friction in Industrial Businesses
• Losses of time and money
• Difficult to connect to other systems and get data
• Restrictive licensing
• Learning curve/training
• Disconnect between OT and IT
• Short-term focus/upgrade cycle

12. Mission Statement
Our mission is to create industrial
software that empowers our customers to
swiftly turn great ideas into reality by
removing all technological and
economic obstacles.

13. The Four Pillars

14. New Technology

15. New Licensing

16. New Business Model

17. New Ethical Model

18. Ignition Removes Friction By:
• Majorly reducing time/man-hours
• Making data easy to get to
• Making licensing unlimited
• Being easy to learn and teach
• Bridging the gap between OT and IT
• Helping you future-proof your system

19. Reduce Friction by Saving Time
• Download and install in minutes instead of hours or days
• Add functionality or change configuration without shutting down
• Launch and make changes to clients instantly
• “Swiftly turn great ideas into reality”

28. Getting Data Easily – Report Costs

29. Remove Friction of Licensing Limits
• The unlimited licensing model is potentially $1 million worth of
software value for about $10,000.
• Allows engineers to focus on developing the best system without
worrying about licensing details like number of tags, clients, etc.

30. Panel Discussion
How has unlimited licensing reduced friction in your
organizations?
Henry Palechek Chris VanRemoortel

31. Ease of Learning Removes Friction
• The software learning curve is frequently a source of friction.
• Facilitating knowledge-transfer is part of our business model.
• Real-life example: Summer intern at food packing company watched
Inductive University training videos, developed new refrigeration
control system in 6-7 weeks with no prior knowledge of Ignition or
SCADA.

32. Panel Discussion
How has Inductive Automation helped facilitate knowledge
transfer? Were you able to learn Ignition and put it to use quickly?
Henry Palechek Chris VanRemoortel

33. Reduce OT-IT Friction

34. Reduce OT-IT Friction

35. OT-IT Example: Grocery Distribution Center

36. Panel Discussion
