If this sounds like your operation…

  • Scattered data sources
  • Insufficient data to solve problems
  • No scalable architecture
  • Different devices and data structures
  • Unclear/missing documentation
  • Limited visibility into production

… we can help.

Our Approach to Ignition Projects

Listen and understand the specific business needs.
Turn the business needs into user stories, then deliverables.
Create a scalable architecture for seamless data flow.
Design, build, test, and implement the Ignition solution.

HOW WE DO IT

A roadmap to your success

You bring an Ignition integrator on board and expect them to have a methodology on how to identify what needs to be done, prioritise tasks, know how to get it done, and make sure everyone stays informed and engaged along the way. That’s precisely what we commit to do.

Based on experience and a persistent determination to solve problems, we come up with a project approach that addresses the immediate milestones, but also keeps the long-term vision.

Discovery

Identify problems & goals, recommend a course of action

Prove Value

In-person or remote demonstration

Get Started

Develop business case, get buy in from stakeholders, specs & requirements, user stories & contract negotiation

Scalable Architecture

Ecosystem, tag structure, historisation & security

Management

Sprint plan, documentation & project management support

Ongoing Support

Communication & training

Our Approach to Building Ignition Solutions

Proof - of - Concept

Connect & Present Data

With a “show, not tell” approach, we build something, together with you, that solves a practical problem to prove value. That often looks like connecting a few devices, building a working front end (often, a dashboard), and showing how the presented data can be turned into practical knowledge.

01

Functionality

SCADA and/or MES

With user-friendly dashboards, we enable you to answer business-critical questions that allow for operational and business improvement. For example:

  • What’s happening in our operation right now?
  • Is our Alarming strategy enabling us to respond to issues quickly?
  • Are we following the right rules and producing things correctly?
  • Is our equipment working as it should and not wasting time?
  • Are our products of good quality – and if not, why?
  • Can we track our output through its life cycle?

03

Access to data in one place

Architecture & Unified Namespace

The key starting point is to get the data from different sources into the Ignition platform, which acts as the single source of truth. Then, we build the functionalities that satisfy your user stories. A standardised data structure, that follows best practices and industry standards (e.g. ISA-TR88 and PackML) will enable interoperability, consistency, and smarter data retrieval and analysis. With a flexible architecture and a reliable Unified Namespace, as you scale your system, it’ll also be easier to integrate new elements, train new employees, do maintenance, and comply with regulations.

02

IMPLEMENTATION

Roll-out & Training

At the roll-out stage, we make sure your solution works as it should with minimal downtime. We train your team from the beginning, so they will be able to take over. If the roll-out involves multiple sites, we oversee the process to ensure its success.

You’ve read nothing new so far, but here’s a twist.

Introducing…

The Ignition Project Framework

A set of best practices for designing, developing, and deploying Ignition solutions. It includes the key elements most Ignition projects share, and it combines our experience, knowledge, and industry standards.
ignition project framework
The framework answers the question “what can you help us with?” Whether you need only parts of this or all of it, fully done by us or together with you, we’ll make it happen.

What’s in it for you?

Clarity

The framework is an overview of our knowledge, but it also offers you insight into the standard elements that will be part of your Ignition project, replacing uncertainty with clarity and peace of mind.

Efficiency

We don’t have to reinvent the wheel with every project. The framework saves time by offering guidelines on what needs to be done and how to do it.

Scalability

From unified data structures to performance optimisation and database configuration, we set up a system that will keep up with your growth while maintaining performance, reliability, and security.
