DMC Wins Inductive Automation's 2021 Firebrand Award

DMC is proud to be selected as a 2021 Firebrand Award Winner by Inductive Automation. Inductive Automation recognized DMC's work in creating a high-capacity lab for COVID testing in just nine months in partnership with Gingko Bioworks. 

The Firebrand Awards

The Ignition Firebrand Awards honor innovative applications of the Ignition software platform by system integrators and industrial organizations. Ignition offers system integrators tools for HMI, SCADA, MES, and IIoT applications. 

The Ignition Firebrand Awards are presented every September during the Ignition Community Conference (ICC). The winning projects are selected from the ICC Discover Gallery, featuring the best Ignition projects submitted by integrators. The 2021 winners were announced at the virtual ICC, which took place online on September 21-22.

DMC's Award-Winning Project

DMC worked with our client, Ginkgo Bioworks, to create an automation system for their large sequencing testing facility. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Ginkgo designed and built a highly automated sample-processing lab. DMC provided application development, SCADA, and PLC solutions for the turnkey system. Our automation system is expandable and modular so it can be easily modified to accommodate future processes. 

You can read more about this project and watch a video in the Ignition ICC Discover Gallery and in this DMC project case study.
