Ignition (SCADA/MES)




We have made the strategic decision to partner with Inductive Automation and offer Ignition, their SCADA & MES platform as we believe it will make our customers more successful. It makes it easier for you to automate in a few key ways:

• It’s an unlimited license model. This means, you pay a single license for a site and can connect as many devices, clients, PLCs and tags as you like. So if you want to connect to an additional device or present data on a different screen (client) there is no additional licensing cost.
• It’s cost-effective. It’s modular, so you only need to buy the functionality required for your project. A typical SCADA/MES project, will set you back between £10,000 to £15,000, in Ignition licensing costs. Click to check the latest pricing.
• It’s connected. Igniton is built on open standard technologies and in our experience, you can connect to anything. From data lakes in the cloud to legacy recipe control packages, Ignition will let you get to use your data to drive performance.
• It’s built for enterprise manufacturers. Ignition scales to your needs and can manage complex operations across multiple sites from one central location.




We help forward-thinking food businesses to digitally transform their manufacturing operations and Ignition is the key enabling technology. From looking to improve OEE/downtime data capture to tracking works orders and a mass balance, Ignition connects your key business systems including ERP (SAP, D365 etc.) To realise transformation, Operational Technology (OT) and Information Technology (IT) must work together to unlock meaning in their data. Ignition offers a bridge, encouraging collaboration and produces fantastic results
