Welcome to Ignition by Inductive Automation

Ignition is not like any other HMI / SCADA system you've seen before! Ignition is a single install, runs from a single location, is server based, and is sold by the server not by the client. It uses current web-based technology and allows you to bring the IT department and the plant floor closer than ever. It uses Java for fast secure runtime clients and that means it can be used on any system, any version. Windows 7? Yep. Windows 10? Yes. Mac OSX? You bet. Linux? Bring on your Cloud servers! You can even switch between systems or use one for the server and another for your Runtimes. If IT wants to use Windows servers to host and operations wants to use their new MacBooks, it isn't a problem.

What can Ignition do for you? It has built-in, drag and drop functionality for just about anything you can imagine. Ignition does HMI/SCADA controls, Dashboards, Historical Trending, Database access, Reporting, Alarming, Security, Sequential Function Charts, Redundancy, Failover control, Enterprise Administration, and more! Ignition does all this and does it well because of its Modular Architecture. That means you get to choose exactly what Ignition does for you. Pick the features you want and ignore the rest. Want to try some of the other features? You always have a full version of Ignition with a resetable timer to try new things. Play around as much as you like and decide for yourself what you want.
