The Industrial Automation Transformation Change Agent – Inside Inductive Automation’s ICC 2019 Conference


By Bill Lydon, Contributing Editor, Automation.com


The 2019 Inductive Automation Ignition Community Conference was another high energy, creative, and stimulating leadership event. With the company illustrating the power of the next level of software technology and leveraging this with a new business model, Inductive Automation illuminated their progression to be more responsive to industry and customer requirements.  While many talk about leveraging the latest technologies and changing their business models to boost customer satisfaction, Inductive Automation’s event served as a great example of the company going beyond talking points with action. Stating that they have seen tremendous growth and adoption, Steve Hechtman, CEO, President & Founder shared their vision of the company as, “The New SCADA”,  built on four pillars:


  • New Technology Model – A whole new paradigm, practically any OS (Operating System), leveraging open source, conforming to IoT & industrial standards, and open interfaces.

  • New Licensing Model –  “It’s the zero-hassle licensing model. An unlimited licensing model, sold by the server, with a single affordable price no matter how many clients or tags are used.”

  • New Business Model – “Our New Business Model balances development (new innovation), quality assurance, marketing, sales, support, accounting, training, and about 20 other functions into a well-functioning pipeline all focused solely on delivering the New User Experience.”

  • New Ethical Model – “ We love what we do, we love this community and we really do want to make the world a better place!”


Inductive Automation is focused on reducing the friction that has stifled the creation of solutions in the industry and providing the platform to build leadership solutions. Steve Hechtman’s shared his insights into the organizations mission, stating the goal of “making integration easy, fun and affordable” and their efforts to keep serving the “dreamers and doers”.


Steve Hechtman’s Founder’s Message describes the four pillars: https://inductiveautomation.com/about/founders-message


 


Steve Hechtman was frustrated as a system integrator looking for solutions and found marketing materials from companies that sounded like they had the solution. Unfortunately the marketing and sales materials did not match the product and technology delivered.  Many of us in the industry including myself that have application engineering experience certainly empathize with his comments.


Opening this year’s conference, Don Pearson, Chief Strategy Officer, discussed Inductive Automation’s realization of the importance of community, starting with the first time the event was held.  ”The people in this room love solving problems, love getting things done, love building things and love sharing ideas,” Pearson described.  He emphasized how the community relationship with the Ignition community has been providing Inductive Automation with tremendous feedback and giving them ideas to help be responsive to industry needs. Pearson shared Steve Hechtman’s vision that if you put an individual with an idea and the right tools together it is amazing what they can accomplish.   “It is not just our software,” emphasizes Pearson, “but the power of the community to change minds, processes, and industry leading the 2019 ICC theme, Limitless.”



Don Pearson, Chief Strategy Officer reinforced believe in the community,“It is not just our software but the power of the community to change minds, processes, and industry.”


 


A Focus on Edge Devices


Ignition Edge, the Ignition software solution designed specifically for embedding into field and OEM devices at the edge of the network, has been adopted by a number of suppliers that displayed and presented at the conference and featured the Ignition Edge Onboard label. 


 


Discovering real-world applications


The Discovery Gallery at the ICC conference is always an inspiring highlight, sharing many examples of companies real world efforts with the solutions. Inductive also shares many of these examples review on the Internet. Here are some of the examples I found particularly interesting:


 


INDUSTRIAL NETWORKING SOLUTIONS –  Cloud, Edge, and More Enable a Fast Solution for Numerous Sites- Project For: ARB Midstream


ARB Midstream acquired a new pipeline asset which includes 36 RTUs and central gathering locations. As part of the agreement, ARB was required to completely take over pipeline SCADA in four months. Challenged with this aggressive schedule, ARB contracted Industrial Networking Solutions (INS) to deliver a SCADA solution offering cloud-based reporting, management, visibility, control, and a communications network with failover capabilities and store-and-forward technologies.

STREAMLINE INNOVATIONS – Edge and MQTT Help Convert Toxic Gas to Sulfur


Streamline Innovations operates natural gas treating units in South and West Texas that convert hydrogen sulfide (H2S) into fertilizer-grade sulfur. Hydrogen sulfide is an extremely toxic, explosive chemical found in most natural gas. Streamline is using Ignition to facilitate the automation of three semi-autonomous, mid-sized units, one large-scale gas treatment facility, and several fully autonomous skids, all with full remote bi-directional control and historian data collection. Ignition will be used at several new locations as well. H2S is found in about 50 percent of all natural gas wells worldwide. Streamline Innovations has developed a unique chemical technology that converts H2S to elemental sulfur, which in turn can be used for agricultural applications. This chemical technology has been tried commercially before, but it hasn’t been profitable due to operational difficulties. Streamline has circumvented these issues and has made the Valkyrie Process an attractive solution to H2S removal due to updated chemistry, modern surfactant additives, and a robust but complex control and automation system, which includes the Ignition software platform. Streamline operates at three different scales: 1) unmanned “small” units that treat 200-2,000 pounds of sulfur per day and are roughly the size of a large truck; 2) manned “large” units that treat 20,000 pounds per day or more and are the size of a football field; and 3) completely autonomous “micro” units that are single pieces of equipment in remote locations which perform ancillary tasks.


PROJECT SCOPE


  • Tags: 400

  • Screens: 20 (Large Systems) 25 (Mobile Systems)

  • Clients: 3

  • Alarms: 1200

  • Devices used: 1 AB PLC + 1 Moxa + 1 ProSoft per project

ANDRITZ AUTOMATION – Artificial Intelligence Drives Innovative Automation


ANDRITZ used Ignition to create a platform for training an artificial intelligence (AI) controller to run an industrial plant. The company built a software application in Ignition that integrates process simulation software and machine learning components.  ANDRITZ built a prototype as an internal development project using its own funds. The company then entered and won the 2019 GoldCorp #DistruptMining competition, a contest that focuses on digital transformation of the mining industry to optimize profitability and competitiveness. The prize is a 1-million-dollar (Canadian) project to execute a pilot at one of GoldCorp’s sites.


PROJECT SCOPE
