About the show

Ignition is the foundation. It connects data across the enterprise, enables you to rapidly build any industrial application, and scales without limits — making it the only truly universal industrial platform for enterprise integration. Ignited exists to show you what that foundation makes possible. Each episode, Travis Cox, Chief Technology Evangelist, and Thomas Burke, Technology Evangelist, from Inductive Automation go deep with the people actually doing the work — end users, system integrators, ecosystem partners, and thought leaders — exploring how Ignition, open standards, and modern architectures are solving real problems across every vertical. No hype. No fluff. Just honest, informed conversations about how industry is moving forward. Whether you're a seasoned integrator, an OT leader evaluating your next platform, or someone just beginning to explore what's possible — there's something here for you.
