This document summarizes a presentation on leveraging Ignition for smart manufacturing and digital transformation. It defines smart manufacturing and digital transformation, and discusses how Grantek is using Ignition to connect manufacturing data from devices and business data from ERP systems. Ignition allows users to process this data through calculations, analysis, and partner modules to gain intelligence and insights. It then delivers actionable information to operators and other stakeholders in real-time through screens, dashboards, reports, and notifications. The presentation provides guidance on getting started with a smart manufacturing initiative using Ignition's connectivity, flexibility, and licensing model.

5. Today’s Topic
How Grantek is leveraging Ignition for Smart Manufacturing
and Digital Transformation
As more manufacturers are tasked to design and implement Smart
Manufacturing and Digital Transformation programs, we find the space is so
big it can be difficult to know where to start.
Might we recommend… Ignition?
Ignition provides thorough data connectivity for OT devices, immediate
value to users through visualization tools like Perspective, and extensibility
through partner and custom modules to support Digital Transformation
Initiatives.

“Digital transformation can refer to anything from IT modernization (for
example, cloud computing), to digital optimization, to the invention of
new digital business models. The term is widely used in public-sector
organizations to refer to modest initiatives such as putting services
online or legacy modernization.”

“Smart Manufacturing is the intelligent, real-time orchestration and
optimization of business, physical and digital processes within factories
and across the entire value chain. Resources and processes are
automated, integrated, monitored and continuously evaluated based
on all available information as close to real-time as possible.”
