Meet Some of the Exceptional Women at Inductive Automation Jennifer Faylor Wed, 03/01/2023 - 09:03
In honor of Women’s History Month, we wanted to spotlight some of the exceptional and inspirational female employees here at Inductive Automation. Our software, Ignition, is a disruptor in industrial automation, and in a similar fashion, we’re helping disrupt the traditionally male-dominated nature of our industry. By celebrating women, learning from their stories, and sharing the reality of their experiences, we’ll be better equipped to break down the barriers that impede progress.
Meet the Support Division: Helping Ignition Users and Having Fun Doing It Aaron Block Wed, 03/16/2022 - 09:07
At Inductive Automation, we understand why having an ace support team is so integral to the success of Ignition users the world over. That’s why our Support Division takes an unconventional, active approach. Support staff is on the front lines, assisting integrators with development roadblocks and helping end users when issues arise. They’re the unsung heroes of IA, so we’ve decided to spotlight the division responsible for that sense of relief you have when you hang up the phone.

Meet Kathy: Software Engineering Department Manager, Mentor, Hiker, and Professional Quilter Lauren Walters Fri, 05/21/2021 - 08:51
Software Engineering Department Manager Kathy Applebaum knows a thing or two about development, whether that means building in Ignition or helping her students at Sacramento State University gain the skills they’ll need to succeed. Since joining Inductive Automation back when there were only a half-dozen developers, she has casually broken barriers and refuted misconceptions about women in technology. Most of all, Kathy has remained grounded, still wide-eyed about her ability to take an idea and make it a reality, plus have fun doing it.
Choose Your Own Path to Success with the Technical Pathways Program Aaron Block Wed, 05/19/2021 - 15:20
Since our inception, there has been one thing that sets Inductive Automation apart from the rest of the automation industry: the people who work here. Our products are developed using open source technology and we offer free training along with mountains of free resources, but it’s our employees’ ingenuity and sense of community that are one of a kind. So more than anything, our goal is to make room for everyone on the IA team to grow and flourish, to find their strengths and fully realize their talents. With that mindset, we created the Technical Pathways Program to help current students and recent graduates develop their skills and better prepare for wherever their careers may take them.
