Inductive Automation has long supported water and wastewater utilities, recognizing their importance, despite limited funding. Following a recent hacking attempt in Florida, they're even more committed to offering free resources and affordable solutions to help upgrade utilities, without high costs. They've gathered three articles from Water & Wastes Digest showcasing how these utilities use Ignition Edge, the Ignition Perspective Module, and Ignition Exchange to improve SCADA systems. These stories highlight the benefits of edge computing for faster data collection, mobile technology for plant floor efficiency, and collaboration across the SCADA community.
