Serving as a central hub for Operational Technology (OT), Ignition unifies real-time data from Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), databases, IIoT devices, and enterprise systems into a single, cohesive system of record. Key Capabilities and Features Open Standards: Ignition provides a single environment built on open standards — including SQL, Python, OPC UA, and MQTT — to rapidly develop and scale interoperable control systems. Web-Based SCADA Software: Ignition provides a modern, centralized supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system. Web-Based HMI Deployment: Ignition uses cross-platform HTML5 architecture to instantly deploy secure, responsive industrial clients to any desktop, monitor, or mobile device. MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems): Ignition includes MES modules for seamless tracking, scheduling, and analysis of plant-floor operations. IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things): Ignition provides robust edge computing, cloud data pipeline integrations, remote telemetry, and support for Unified Namespace architectures. Custom Automation Solutions: Ignition has flexible scripting and data modeling that enables you to build Digital Transformation solutions that fit your specific operational workflows. IT/OT Convergence: Ignition natively bridges the gap between plant-floor control hardware and enterprise IT infrastructures, empowering data-driven decision-making across the enterprise. Why System Integrators Choose Ignition’s Unlimited Licensing Model: Ignition disrupts expensive per-client, per-tag licensing with a flat-rate server license offering unlimited tags, clients, designers, connections, concurrent clients, screens, and devices. This eliminates scaling friction and reduces Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
