Implementing a new system often raises one key question: Who will be able to work with it? With Ignition, the answer is simple. Anyone who wants to learn can work with it — completely free of charge, online, and at their own pace.
You don’t have to wait for formal training, an external vendor, or a developer. Your team can train itself independently, continuously, efficiently, and with high quality. And if they ever get stuck, the community and support are always available.
* In the event of an issue occurring directly in production (on the shop floor), customers with an active support agreement can open a support ticket that is handled directly by the manufacturer’s experts under agreed SLAs (Service Level Agreements). This official technical support ensures that incidents are resolved quickly and efficiently, without reliance on the community or forums.
Database Connection in Just Two Clicks
Ignition supports MS SQL, PostgreSQL, MySQL, and other databases. Production data flows are immediately available for integration and further processing — with no programming required.
Real-Time Email Notifications
By connecting to a mail server, you get automatic alerts for faults, exceeded limits, or important events, sent instantly to the relevant people.
User Authentication via Corporate Directories
Security and access control are fundamental. Ignition supports Active Directory, Entra ID (Azure), LDAP, and SSO. Users log in with a single username and password, while IT retains full control over access.
Integration with ERP Systems (e.g. SAP)
Data from machines, sensors, and SCADA can be easily integrated with ERP systems. Whether it’s SAP, Oracle, or another platform, Ignition acts as an integrator that ensures seamless data flow across the enterprise.
Creating a Single Source of Truth (SSOT)
Unify data from multiple sources into one consistent view. Eliminate duplication, inaccuracies, and conflicts between departments — and give management data they can finally trust.
Support for Modern IT Protocols
Ignition supports REST APIs, JSON, WebSocket, and other standards. This enables bidirectional data exchange with all standard systems and services.
Advanced Administrative Interface
Administrators have access to a centralized tool for full system oversight: network connections, performance, device status, licenses, active users, and modules.
Monitoring of Production-Critical Applications
When Ignition is part of mission-critical processes, IT needs tools for monitoring, logging, and notifications. Ignition provides these capabilities out of the box, significantly simplifying administrators’ responsibilities.
