Barbara and Inductive Automation Partner to Scale Ignition® SCADA Deployment at the Edge

Madrid, July 30, 2025 – Barbara, the leading Edge AI-native platform for industrial environments, has partnered with Inductive Automation to enable instant deployment of Ignition® SCADA at the edge via the Barbara Edge Orchestration Platform.

With this integration, Ignition® SCADA is now available in the Barbara Marketplace, allowing seamless plug-and-play deployment across even the most distributed industrial environments. The result: drastically reduced installation time, manual effort, and maintenance costs. While Ignition connects data from the plant floor to enterprise systems, Barbara ensures secure, scalable, and efficient application lifecycle management—enabling organizations to roll out Ignition® SCADA at scale with zero-touch configuration.
