ALT What does general manufacturing look like when Ignition connects production, quality, and traceability in real time?
In our next quarterly webinar, SUN ACE South Africa (Pty) Ltd and Concera will walk us through how they built a fully integrated production and quality management ecosystem using Ignition by Inductive Automation as the central platform.
This isn’t a conceptual discussion. It’s a real implementation covering reactor automation, batch traceability, recipe management, historian integration, and closed-loop laboratory QC, all working together in one unified system.
If you’re looking to modernise batch operations, improve traceability, or build a stronger digital foundation, this session will give you practical insight into what’s possible and what it actually takes.
