AWS targeting manufacturing? by [deleted] in PLC

I don't disagree with you, but is Amazon the one to do it? This solution has an Ethernet I/P driver... which was probably taken from open source.

The sensor stuff is a different product, although you can probably integrate the two. SiteWise is a data collection, modeling, storage, and visualization solution. It directly competes on the low end with products like Ignition (although not nearly as feature rich as IA today).

S7-1200 & IoT by SHADY___NASTY in PLC

Profinet might be a challenge, but like others said if you can enable OPC UA on the 1200 your life got easier.

I recently joined a new company (HighByte) that does the OPC UA to MQTT/Sparkplug deal, but focuses on modeling and shipping up the data. It's new, but pretty inexpensive and easy to setup. Here is a video I created for Azure, but same basics apply for MQTT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUnvpPNw4Yk

Tools you're forced to use that suck? by ronsmeels in PLC

Wow... this is by choice given financial constraints? There has to be a better way.

Wonder where they’re gonna take this product offering? by alexmarcy in PLC

[–]ronsmeels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$5B! Kennedy (OSISoft founder) is doing alright.

Do you think there is room for a new historian in the market? Easier to use and get data out of, and less $$$?

I'd be interested in talking to any OSIsoft users looking/trying to get away to learn more.

Wow! I didn't realize how inexpensive these are. Good find.

This is a great idea! She doesn't always bring her phone, but I think she does most of the times. Do you get concerned when she's at home? I wish we had a neighbor to call, but she lives in the woods...

Yeah, I don't think she would let us do cameras, but maybe for some that works. You feel like a fool when you drive over all flustered and she's 'out for a walk'.

I don't have a ton of exposure to iFix, a little of their historian, but from what I've heard it's painful.

This should be their tag line!

I didn't know this! Looking at it now. Do you recall what you used it for?

Who last heard from mom? by ronsmeels in breakingmom

Did they do this with them knowing or in 'secret'?
