Reshaping the Industrial Future: Automation Trends for the Next Decade
September 24, 3:30 - 4:15 PM PDT
Join Craig Resnick, Vice President at ARC Advisory Group, as he explores how software-defined automation, pragmatic AI, and open standards are redrawing the HMI/SCADA landscape. This session examines the shift from proprietary hardware to flexible, data-centric architectures, highlighting the critical roles of MQTT, Sparkplug B, OPC UA, and Unified Namespaces in driving IT/OT convergence. Attendees will gain actionable insights into how these evolving technologies, modern edge-to-cloud deployments, and intuitive HMI design can help industrial organizations overcome workforce skills gaps and build resilient, future-ready operations.
Architecting the Future of OT: A Legacy of Open Standards, OPC UA, and OPC UA Companion Specs, and MQTT / Sparkplug
September 24, 1 - 1:45 PM PDT
Craig Resnick will be a panelist in this session
Dive deep into the evolution and future of industrial connectivity! This session explores Inductive Automation’s unwavering commitment to open ecosystems, anchored by Thomas’ lifelong advocacy for robust OT- standards. For decades, he’s championed rigorous information modeling because it is the undeniable bedrock of true interoperability — without a shared semantic language, digital transformation is just a buzzword. We will demystify the complex world of OPC UA and its crucial Companion Specifications, illustrating how these frameworks harmonize disparate machine data into actionable intelligence. Alongside the transformative, MQTT-powered data efficiency of Sparkplug, discover how Ignition’s robust architecture serves as the ultimate bridge between legacy systems and next-generation enterprise networks.
