This video was recorded by me for the United Manufacturing Hub In this tutorial, we guide you through the process of integrating Ignition by Inductive Automation with the United Manufacturing Hub (UMH). The objective is to build an operational dashboard in Ignition that displays real-time MQTT data coming from the UMH, using UMH as a Unified Namespace (UNS). This tutorial requires a running UMH instance, and (at least) the demo version of Ignition by Inductive Automation. To get started with the UMH, get the free community edition here: https://www.umh.app/ ...

This video was recorded by me for the United Manufacturing Hub In this tutorial, we guide you through the process of building a Grafana dashboard based on the PackML model. We begin with a look at the PackML MQTT simulator, which simulates a real production line using the PackML standard and integrates with MQTT for messaging. Following this, we build a dashboard that can display various machine states (such as Starting, Running, Stopped, etc.), operational metrics, and alarms or notifications. In addition, we’ll cover how to use the management console and explain how to work with the overall data model. ...

In this debut episode of the Smart Metals Podcasting Show, hosts Luke van Enkhuizen and Denis delve into the world of Industry 4.0, focusing on the critical shift from data science to data engineering within industrial environments. Denis shares his journey from a data scientist to a data engineer, sparked by the challenge of accessing and preparing data for analysis in the metal industry. He highlights the insufficiency of current systems to support the data analytics needed for Industry 4.0 and argues for a separate digital infrastructure for control and analytics. ...
