Hear industry innovators’ thoughts on AI, enterprise SCADA, IT/OT convergence, MQTT, OPC UA and more on this industrial automation podcast. 

Burning question: Are you fired up to learn more about the fascinating world of industrial automation?

If so, feed the flames by tuning in to the Ignited podcast. It’s where Inductive Automation’s Travis Cox and Thomas Burke talk tech’s hottest topics with industry leaders and tech pioneers, and freely share actionable tips and practical practices.

While there’s no sizzle reel (yet), there’s absolutely real sizzle here! Only a few months in, the hosts of this fast-growing podcast have already:

  • Talked MQTT with the communication protocol’s co-creator, Arlen Nipper of Cirrus Link
  • Journeyed to the edge (of the network) and dove into interoperability & architecture issues with Dan White of Opto 22
  • Discussed top data-center issues and best practices with BW Design Group’s Keith Gamble & Jason Rhodewalt
  • Explored the positive impact of an award-winning, Ignition-built prosthetic limb replacement project with HebronSoft’s Liliya Valihun  
  • Sat with Jeff Winter of Belden (and formerly Microsoft) to fan the flames of AI and address how its plant-floor adoption affects operators and technicians 

How’s that for hearing from industry heavyweights?

And that’s just a small sample of the Ignited podcast’s diverse tech topics. New episodes drop each week!
