600 Plant Managers & Experts Unified Through Ignition
The main application has three main workflows: 1) The missions, which are requested by plant managers (help, assistance, technical studies); 2) the activities (who is working on which subject); and 3) the timesheets, which now show what has been done before together with what will happen, in order to avoid duplicate entries and to provide a real-time forecast.

Safer Roadways with Active Warning System
The RIAWS (Rural Intersection Active Warning System) project was conceived as a means to reduce the speed of vehicles on the main road as they enter a rural intersection where there is another vehicle approaching from a side road that presents a potential collision hazard.

Ashley Automation Boosts Efficiency
Ashley utilized the Ignition platform to facilitate everything from the local HMI, data transfer to a remote facility, data aggregation at the remote facility, and display of the information to the customer.
Design Like a Pro: Custom Dashboards
Wherever dashboards are used, they are most effective when tailored to the user's specific role. With the right know-how, you can create dashboards that let users select which information they want to see, which will ensure that dashboards are well-utilized and beneficial to the organization as a whole.

ILS Automation Develops SFC & Diagnostic Toolkits
Find out how ILS Automation developed new Ignition modules for ExxonMobil that extend the power of SCADA applications in oil and gas facilities.
Ignition Brings Control, Flexibility to Energy Management Software
In 2009, Cofely began using SCADA software to help businesses and local authorities manage, control, and analyze energy consumption data. But a few years later, the company faced a project that required more capabilities than any traditional SCADA software could provide. That’s when Cofely began a search that led to the software that is now the corner-stone of its energy monitoring and control system: Ignition by Inductive Automation®.
ILS Automation
ILS Automation serves laboratories that perform many experiments to develop and understand biological processes. The goal of these experiments varies but usually involves optimizing strain and operating conditions to increase yield. In addition, some product may be extracted for downstream process development, such as separation. Also, batch data is slightly different than a continuous process in that the absolute time is not as important as batch age, where batch age usually starts after inoculation. Several real-time or historical batches are compared simultaneously.

Harnessing Wind Power
X-Wind Power Limited is designing 80 kW vertical axis wind turbines and when deployed there will be an Ignition cloud-based SCADA system for data collection, data storage, and visualization. As part of the turbine design process, a recording, visual, dynamic mathematical model of the turbines’ “aero to electrical output” and safety systems was required and this has successfully been achieved using National Instruments’ LabVIEW. The control system engineer said he I couldn’t help thinking to himself, “I’m sure I could do that with Ignition,” and that it would help him understand the mechanical dynamics as well as underline to the team just how powerful Ignition would be for the main SCADA system.
