Cloud-based monitoring has unified my plants and now supports secure, cross-platform access
I would prefer if Ignition Cloud Edition would provide Python instead of Jython programming. It would be easier to do programming in Ignition Cloud Edition. Although Jython works, Python is much better to understand. I would love if Ignition Cloud Edition would provide one more functionality. Ignition Cloud Edition can already be configured with multiple SQL databases, which is good. Ignition Cloud Edition can also run scripts, which is very good. It supports Sparkplug B, which is again good. However, if it would provide the functionality of Python programming, other than Jython, because Jython is a little confusing to me compared to Python. Additionally, nowadays companies are switching to predictive maintenance. It would be better if Ignition Cloud Edition will provide some kind of API integration with AI models. The predictive maintenance process would be much easier to perform. If it would provide the functionality to do programming in Python and some kind of integration with a machine learning, deep learning model, or AI integration, a company could develop a predictive maintenance pipeline as well.

What I dislike about Oracle Linux 8 | Support by SupportedImages mainly pertains to the command prompt. Everything is written in the command line, so if it were more graphical, where I could use a mouse pointer or an AI system to update and be more automated and user-friendly, it would be better. There would be no need to memorize any command. For example, if I want to delete something, I should be able to use the mouse pointer, go to the specific folder, and right-click to delete. If Oracle Linux 8 | Support by SupportedImages added this type of user-friendly graphical interface, it would be more usable and faster for everybody without needing to be a super expert.
