Ignition Development Services
Development services for the Inductive Automation Ignition platform. We design and implement complete industrial software solutions that are robust, scalable, and built on engineering best practices.
// CORE MODULE SPECIFICATION
Custom Application Engineering
The Ignition platform is extremely powerful, but its effectiveness depends entirely on how the gateway, tags, and script engines are designed. We specialize in building clean, high-performance systems from the ground up, as well as optimizing and expanding existing setups.
Our development practices prioritize modularity and uptime. We build architectures that can be easily maintained and scaled by your internal controls engineering teams without requiring a complete rebuild.
Key Areas of Technical Focus
- Gateway Configuration: Proper layout of redundancy, driver optimization, database connection pooling, security certificate installation, and memory allocations.
- Structured Tag Design & UDTs: Engineering highly optimized, parameterized User Defined Types (UDTs) to represent plant machinery, ensuring fast gateway execution and clean layouts.
- Vanilla Python Scripting: Centrally managed Python scripts utilizing Ignition’s extension functions, event handlers, and project library files rather than scattered, slow inline screen events.
> System Development Matrix
Our engineering approach incorporates all essential layers of the Ignition software ecosystem:
- Interfaces Perspective & Vision Clients
- Databases PostgreSQL, SQL Server, MySQL
- Alarms Dynamic Pipelines & Routing
- Reports Scheduled & On-Demand PDFs
- Integrations OPC-UA, MQTT, REST APIs, ERPs
- Security TLS, Active Directory/SSO
// EXISTING GATEWAY DEPLOYMENTS
Already have an active Ignition gateway that is slow, cluttered, or needs new functionality? We specialize in non-disruptive, live-system refactoring, optimization, and development.
Our Testing & Deployment Standards
Uptime is paramount in industrial environments. We validate all development before pushing configuration live.
1. Simulated PLC Testing
We do not test code against live, moving plant floor equipment. We build isolated simulation projects in Ignition that replicate PLC register feedback to verify logic flows safely.
2. Code and Script Audits
We analyze Python scripting blocks for exception handling, SQL database calls for query index performance, and transaction blocks for proper rollbacks in case of faults.
3. Secure Cutover Deployment
We schedule precise gateway update times, utilize Ignition's robust project import mechanisms, configure failover redundant gateways, and provide direct, onsite or remote operator support.
