Sandalwood Engineering & Ergonomics

🎉 Exciting breakthrough in industrial automation integration! As solutions architects managing diverse integration projects, we’re thrilled to share a game-changing development in the Inductive Automation Ignition ecosystem: The Sandalwood Ignition API (available in the Ignition Exchange!!!). What makes this particularly impressive is its innovative approach to data integration: • Create sandboxed projects with granular data access control • Deploy RESTful integrations without complex development overhead • Manage data exposure through simple named queries • Reduce dependency on senior developer resources The real value? Our API can now rapidly deploy data access points without diving into WebDev REST endpoints. Simply define your named queries, and you're ready to go. This dramatically reduces implementation time and complexity while maintaining robust security controls. For systems integrators managing multiple client deployments, this translates to faster delivery times and more flexible solutions for our customers. Have you explored the Sandalwood Ignition API in your integration projects? We’d love to hear your experiences. #IndustrialAutomation #SystemsIntegration #IgnitionSCADA #Manufacturing #Industry40 #Ignition API Documentation: https://hubs.li/Q02T37BK0
