In this episode, we explore how Ignition 8.3 is pushing things forward in industrial IoT. We cover the key features and improvements — like better event streams, smarter dashboards, and updates in the gateway historian — and talk about what they really mean on the shop floor. You’ll hear how these changes might help solve real pain points: data bottlenecks, scaling across sites, integrating older machines. I also reflect on the human side — how users are reacting, what surprises came up in the upgrade, and where the gaps still are. If you follow industrial software or manage plant systems, this is for you: a grounded talk about what next-gen tools can (and can’t) do. For more in-depth stories and insights, visit iiotblog.com.
