Machine Learning Applications

Last year at the Ignition Community conference, Inductive Automation's Kevin McClusky (co-director of sales engineering) and Kathy Applebaum (senior software engineer) explored the various ways in which machine learning can be applied in industry. In this presentation, they delved deep into the types of machine learning most applicable to industry and the algorithms behind them. You can read more about this 2018 presentation in the article "How to Apply Industrial Machine Learning," which was based on that presentation. At this year's event, McClusky and Applebaum came together again to highlight the integration of more machine learning capabilities into Ignition over the past year, as well as to showcase four industrial use cases of machine learning being explored by Ignition users. Newly available machine learning capabilities in Ignition enable users to take advantage of the Apache Math 3 library previously added to Ignition 7.9.10 just prior to the release of Ignition 8.
