All About Ignition Cloud Edition by Inductive Automation
Inductive Automation has taken Ignition to new heights with their recently launched Ignition Cloud Edition. This cutting-edge platform seamlessly combines the power of the cloud with the robust features of Ignition. In this post, we’ll explore what makes Ignition Cloud Edition unique and how it differs from the standard Ignition platform. Plus, we’ll talk about the scenarios where Cloud Edition really soars.
Ignition Cloud Edition gives you the power to extend your automation architecture to the cloud - HMIs, SCADA, MES, and more. While standard Ignition can still be used in the cloud, Cloud Edition facilitates an easier, quicker, and more flexible way to create a hybrid architecture.
A hybrid automation architecture incorporates both on-premise and cloud-based systems. Your local gateways (Ignition Edge) and central gateways (standard Ignition) send information to a Cloud Edition gateway for comprehensive enterprise-wide data aggregation and monitoring. This hybrid approach allows for an optimal combination of local processing and cloud computing power.
