Sila's transition from R&D-scale experiments to a full battery material production facility required more than just more equipment — it demanded a shift in how systems were architected. Learn how Sila (working with DMC) deployed Ignition using a Unified Namespace design, UDT-driven standardization, and MQTT messaging via HiveMQ to create a consistent, scalable control layer. This structure not only streamlines deployment across the plant but also feeds contextualized process data to Snowflake for deeper insight and future optimization.
