- 7. Presenter Travis Cox Co-Director of Sales Engineering, Inductive Automation
- 8. Stop Thinking ‘Plant,’ Start Thinking ‘Enterprise’ Current situation at most companies: • Each plant has different data, software, budgets, etc. • No real way to get data back to the corporate level
- 9. Stop Thinking ‘Plant,’ Start Thinking ‘Enterprise’ Growing demand for data at the corporate level: • Inspired by Industry 4.0 & IIoT • Desire to see data and analyze it centrally • Largely driven from the top down
- 10. Stop Thinking ‘Plant,’ Start Thinking ‘Enterprise’ • How do we get from the current landscape of different plants to the promise of turning data into real information, analytics, and central administration? • How do we go about getting data into a common format? • How will we manage this new architecture? • How will we handle increased quantities of incoming data? • How can we scale this? • And many other questions …
- 11. Stop Thinking ‘Plant,’ Start Thinking ‘Enterprise’ • Need a different approach and a different architecture • Need ability to deliver information from sites up to corporate in an accurate, standardized, efficient & secure fashion
- 12. Stop Thinking ‘Plant,’ Start Thinking ‘Enterprise’ Paradox: The demand for enterprise architectures is coming from the top down but it needs to be built from the bottom up.
- 13. Stop Thinking ‘Plant,’ Start Thinking ‘Enterprise’ • Shift thinking: don’t think of plants as islands, but as parts of a larger corporate system. • Ask what we need to do at the plant level to support the enterprise.
- 14. Stop Thinking ‘Plant,’ Start Thinking ‘Enterprise’ Leverage best practices for security at the plant level: • Data should be encrypted when shared across sites • Keep PLCs behind a secure layer • No more air gaps between OT and IT • Get data back to the business securely in an open format while not compromising operations
- 15. Use Open Standards One of the major components of getting to a system with central visualization and administration is the open-architecture & open-standards approach
- 16. Use Open Standards S1 S2 S3 S4 A1 A2 A3 S1 S2 S3 S4 A1 A2 A3 Without Standards With Standards
- 17. Use Open Standards SOAP REST
- 18. Use Open Standards • Standardize your data models • Translate data at the plant level, then send it up, instead of translating it at the top
- 19. Use Open Standards • Open, standard & supported protocols allow plants to be the single source of truth of their data. • Everyone uses the same data for making business decisions
- 20. Use Open Architectures • Need to think about how to set up our systems to be ready for the increased amount of data • Need to think about how we can enable the enterprise without stifling innovation at the plants • Decouple applications from devices to address these issues.
- 21. Use Open Architectures Coupled vs. decoupled architectures:
- 22. Use Open Architectures • Poll-response protocols stifle innovation and are very difficult to scale • Move to publish-subscribe protocols to decouple applications from devices and free up your data
- 24. Use Open Architectures • Plug-and-play functionality is a major benefit of open architectures • Add devices & sensors and they just work – don’t have to configure them in SCADA or other applications
- 25. Use Open Architectures • Choose a protocol that has security and stateful awareness (such as MQTT or OPC UA). • Provide the data that the business is asking for, in a standardized way, without compromising SCADA & operations.
- 26. Use Open Architectures • Standards are also important for “brownfield” companies • Need to standardize data & data models to build an enterprise solution on what’s already there
- 27. Use Open Architectures Integrate with other tools: • Business intelligence • Machine Learning (Microsoft Azure) • Apache NiFi and Kafka • Hadoop • IBM Watson IoT • Ignition Edge • Storm • Amazon IoT • ERP • CMMS
- 28. Results of Completed Enterprise Architecture • Centralized administration, management of projects & templates, automated recovery, deploy applications, project sync & updates, etc. • See data from all plants, check on system health • Greater information and intelligence • More speed and agility
- 29. Results of Completed Enterprise Architecture Think about it: What would the ROI be if you could get all of the data from the locations into a standard format centrally and start leveraging new tools?
- 30. Software That Scales to the Enterprise • Does it support open data formats? • Can you deploy it effectively at multiple sites? • Can it connect to, and leverage, the cloud? • Does the licensing limit your ability to scale?
- 31. Software That Scales to the Enterprise • You can build enterprise architectures with Ignition software & technologies like MQTT • Gateway Network unlocks architectural possibilities, allows multiple Ignition Gateways to share large amounts of information
- 32. Software That Scales to the Enterprise Ignition Remote MQTT Architecture
- 33. Software That Scales to the Enterprise • Ignition’s unlimited licensing minimizes the costs of growth & future-proofing • Ignition’s licensing, technology, and business model are all in line with enterprise thinking
- 34. Software That Scales to the Enterprise “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

- 35. Recap of Essential Steps to Enterprise Architecture • Build your enterprise architecture from the plant-level up. • Deliver plant data to the corporate level in an automated, standardized, secure manner. • Choose open standards and standardize your data format. • Decouple devices from applications using publish-subscribe protocols. • Measure necessary expenses against the huge potential ROI of a working enterprise system. • Integrate innovative tools for intelligence, analysis, IIoT & more. • Use software that is conducive to enterprise architectures.
