Reduced downtime and costs have transformed multi-site monitoring and predictive maintenance
The best features Ignition Cloud Edition offers are valuable, including multiple features which I appreciate, such as the cloud marketplace procurement, which helps us to bypass the traditional slow software procurement by billing the software directly to our organization's existing infrastructure, giving us software implementation and helping us to accomplish things in a better way. The procurement is straightforward and easy. Ignition Cloud Edition also has pre-packaged core modules that automatically include the most critical tools from a web and mobile screens perspective. Additionally, it has lightweight IoT data transfer, alarm notification, and reporting. Thirdly, it features elastic scalability, allowing it to be instantly upgraded by the underlying cloud server CPU and RAM during massive data events without needing to rack and configure new physical hardware.
