Legacy equipment has earned its place in your operations—built to last, reliable as ever, and still getting the job done. But for all its dependability, these systems often have one glaring flaw: they’re data blind. You can’t manage what you can’t measure, and with legacy systems, it’s like trying to navigate with a compass in a GPS world. They generate valuable data, but getting it out and putting it to use? That’s another story. Adding sensors, upgrading infrastructure, or even attempting to connect these systems to modern data platforms often comes with prohibitive costs, long timelines, and significant operational disruption. Join Benson Hougland from Opto 22 and Graeme Welton from Flow Software in the latest IntegrateLive! Virtual Workshop (Dec. 18 at 11 am EST) as they tackle adding data acquisition, machine monitoring, history, and trending capabilities to unconnected legacy equipment for immediate ROI. <less Learn the language of modern manufacturing Blog - Published: Make plans to attend ProveIt!—a first-of-its-kind conference that aims to prove to manufacturers the viability of IIoT solutions.

Legacy equipment has earned its place in your operations—built to last, reliable as ever, and still getting the job done. But for all its dependability, these systems often have one glaring flaw: they’re data blind. You can’t manage what you can’t measure, and with legacy systems, it’s like trying to navigate with a compass in a GPS world. They generate valuable data, but getting it out and putting it to use? That’s another story. Adding sensors, upgrading infrastructure, or even attempting to connect these systems to modern data platforms often comes with prohibitive costs, long timelines, and significant operational disruption. Join Benson Hougland from Opto 22 and Graeme Welton from Flow Software in the latest IntegrateLive! Virtual Workshop (Dec. 18 at 11 am EST) as they tackle adding data acquisition, machine monitoring, history, and trending capabilities to unconnected legacy equipment for immediate ROI. <less Learn the language of modern manufacturing Blog - Published: Make plans to attend ProveIt!—a first-of-its-kind conference that aims to prove to manufacturers the viability of IIoT solutions.

Handling sand in oil and gas flowback systems is both critical and challenging. Left unchecked, sand can damage equipment, leading to leaks and costly system shutdowns. Manual handling of flowback systems exposes workers to hazardous materials, heavy equipment, and high-pressure environments. Together, MAC Automation and EnerCorp have automated the dangerous and labor-intensive process. <less Discover new technologies for the oil and gas industry in Argentina Blog - Published: Join OptoPartner Weisz Instrumentos for one of the most widely recognized events in the hydrocarbons industry.

Calling all automation and controls engineers, technicians, system integrators—and even our own Opto engineers! Would you like to research and design systems that use both groov EPIC controllers and groov RIO edge I/O modules? Now you can configure groov EPICs (including processors, licenses, power supplies, I/O modules, and chassis), groov RIOs (all three types), and groov software in a complete system. The interactive groov System Configurator tool is all you need. It provides technical guidance so you can start experimenting with your system designs online. With beta testing complete and customer feedback implemented, it's time to try out all the new features this recently updated website tool offers. See how everything fits together in a networked architecture, making sure your system is cohesive and ready to run smoothly. <less What you missed at ICC 2024 Blog - Published: Get a recap of all the adventures that made last week's Ignition Community Conference a memorable occasion for all attendees.
