Friction in Business

• Slows processes down• Impedes collaboration • Holds companies back• Reduce friction to increase results.

Friction in Industrial Businesses

• Losses of time and money• Difficult to connect to other systems and get data • Restrictive licensing• Learning curve/training • Disconnect between OT and IT • Short-term focus/upgrade cycle

Mission Statement

Our mission is to create industrial software that empowers our customers to swiftly turn great ideas into reality by removing all technological and economic obstacles.

The Four Pillars

Getting Data Easily – Report Costs

Remove Friction of Licensing Limits

• The unlimited licensing model is potentially $1 million worth of software value for about $10,000.

• Allows engineers to focus on developing the best system without worrying about licensing details like number of tags, clients, etc.

Panel Discussion

How has unlimited licensing reduced friction in your organizations?


Ease of Learning Removes Friction

• The software learning curve is frequently a source of friction.• Facilitating knowledge-transfer is part of our business model.• Real-life example: Summer intern at food packing company

watched Inductive University training videos, developed new refrigeration control system in 6-7 weeks with no prior knowledge of Ignition or SCADA.

Panel Discussion

How has Inductive Automation helped facilitate knowledge transfer? Were you able to learn Ignition and put it to use quickly?
