Edge Computing with Ignition Edge
🧠 Summary / Value Proposition:
Legacy data collection systems can’t keep up with the speed and scale of modern manufacturing—and centralized architectures often fall short on responsiveness, reliability, and cost-efficiency.
Join us for a fast-paced, 30-minute webinar to discover how Ignition Edge enables real-time, localized data processing and smart decision-making right where it matters most: at the edge of your network. You’ll learn how manufacturers are using edge computing to eliminate downtime, streamline operations, and scale digital transformation—without breaking the bank.
👤 Target Audience:
- Industrial Automation Engineers
- Manufacturing IT/OT Leaders
- Controls Engineers
- Digital Transformation Professionals
🎙️ What You'll Learn:
1. The $50 Billion Problem
Why manufacturing downtime costs U.S. industry billions annually
What if you could predict equipment failures before they happen?
2. The Edge Computing Revolution
Centralized vs. distributed data models
Key benefits: low latency, high reliability, bandwidth efficiency, local security
Why the surge in IIoT and data volume makes edge a necessity
3. What is Ignition Edge?
Lightweight, scalable, and built for industrial environments
Modular components for data collection, visualization, local HMI, and more
Seamless integration with the full Ignition Gateway
4. Live Demo: From Raw Data to Dashboard in Minutes
Monitoring a production line with real-time visualization
Local processing, alarming, and deployment in just a few clicks
5. Real-World Results
30% reduction in downtime through predictive maintenance
Up to 60% savings over custom SCADA expansions
99.9% uptime in remote, regulated environments

🧠 Whether you're a controls engineer, operations leader, or plant manager, this session is packed with insights to help you take confident steps toward a smarter, more flexible industrial environment.
Dr. Marcel Schäfer, Senior Program Coordinator, Fraunhofer USA, joins Tim Stuart, President, Visual Decisions and Mike Ungar, CEO, Industry 4.0 Club, to discuss the untapped potential manufacturers must leverage data to improve business results. This episode is the 4th in the Industry 4.0 Club series "Lean Industry 4.0 - Operational Excellence meets Technology."
Our own Tim Stuart appears as a guest on the "Disrupted Factory" podcast hosted by Yanesh Naidoo of Jendamark.
There is a growing recognition of the value of the data from Smart Factory systems such as I-IoT (Industrial Internet of Things). The focus for most of these projects is highly focused on improving machine performance and manufacturing quality. However, there are many additional uses for this data across all departments of an operation.
These other uses are the focus for today.
VDI joined the latest CESMII Smart Manufacturing Mindset event on "Digital Lean."
