Inductive Automation Discovery Day

Discover the Digital Oilfield: Implementing IIoT from the Field to the Cloud

Thursday, August 17, 2017

8:00 AM - 3:00 PM CDT

Marriott Marquis Houston | Houston, TX

How to Leverage Ignition and MQTT to Build a Better Architecture for Oil & Gas



There’s a new architecture revolutionizing the way oil & gas companies connect to their data. Discover how migrating from a typical poll-response, round-robin topology to a bandwidth-efficient publish/subscribe system using MQTT can decrease latency and help get critical data to your entire enterprise instantly.

Come to this free one-day seminar to learn how using MQTT and the Ignition industrial application platform can empower your enterprise to build a complete IIoT infrastructure — from the network’s edge to the Cloud and to local sites — all on one platform.

Featured Speakers:

Innovations in the Modern Oil Field: Moving to a Scaled-Out Enterprise Architecture
Presenter: Charles Lame, Manager of Corporate SCADA Operations, Pioneer Natural Resources

Hear an interesting case study about how Pioneer is using Ignition to move from a single-server architecture to a scaled-out enterprise architecture with distributed services. Their large-scale implementation features more than 1,700,000 tags and 29,000 device connections, logging 52 million records per day and polling 160,000,000 tags overall.

Brownfield to IIoT in 30 Min: Learn How to Leverage Ignition and MQTT to Build a Better Architecture for Oil & Gas!
Presenter: Arlen Nipper, President, Cirrus Link Solutions

Hear from Arlen Nipper, co-inventor of MQTT, which is an extremely lightweight pub/sub messaging transport that’s perfectly suited to the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). Arlen created MQTT in conjunction with IBM specifically for real-time, mission-critical SCADA systems. He was also featured in a TED Talk about the IIoT.

Industrial Internet of Things: Using Middleware in an Oil & Gas SCADA Environment
Presenter: Gregory Tink, Managing Partner, The Streamline Group

Find out how Plains Midstream is transforming their industrial control environment in order to decouple the Pipeline SCADA system from the devices or things controlling the equipment. This is a critical architectural step to achieving the benefits of the Digital Oil Field. Learn how they achieved the goals of improving network performance, creating a hub for field data distribution, reducing dependency on SCADA for data management, increasing opportunities for innovation and, ultimately, reducing and controlling spending on upgrades to the core SCADA environment.

Attend this event to learn:
  • How to accelerate innovation within your organization
  • How to slash operational costs and improve efficiency
  • How IIoT can help you connect to more data, more easily
  • How to improve executive decision-making through real-time data access
  • How to build open, secure, and interoperable SCADA, MES, and IIoT solutions using Ignition’s fully integrated development tools
Event Information:
Date: August 17, 2017
Location: Marriott Marquis Houston
Address: 1777 Walker St., Houston, TX 77010
Time: 8:00 AM-3:00 PM CDT (program will begin at 9:00 AM)
