System Integrations
Connect your plant floor with business systems. We bridge the gap between operational technology (OT) and enterprise IT, designing robust data pipelines.
Synchronize Your Entire Architecture
Industrial facilities operate at peak efficiency when equipment data flows seamlessly up to business systems, and scheduling parameters flow directly down to the plant floor. Siloed software blocks operational agility and delays management decision-making.
Using Ignition's robust drivers and module library, we build bidirectional integration lines. We connect controllers, smart instruments, local relational databases, enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, and external web APIs into a single cohesive platform.
Our Integration Competencies
- Controller Connections: Integrating PLCs over industrial protocols like OPC-UA, Modbus, Allen-Bradley EtherNet/IP, and Siemens Industrial Ethernet.
- Relational SQL Databases: Designing optimized database schemas to handle history logging, recipe storage, audit tracking, and material indices.
- REST & SOAP Web APIs: Utilizing Ignition's Python script engine to communicate with external APIs via GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE HTTP requests.
- Enterprise ERP Syncing: Designing transaction lines that bridge raw plant metrics directly with high-level enterprise inventory and scheduling registers.
> Integration Architecture
Our designs follow structured, secure IT-to-OT guidelines:
- Device Drivers Standard OPC-UA Client/Server Modules
- Web Services JSON, XML, SOAP, REST API scripts
- Databases SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL
- Network Zones Secure DMZs & Firewall rules
- Traceability Full bidirectional audit trails
// SECURITY IS PARAMOUNT
Ot-to-IT integrations must respect cyber-security frameworks. We strictly configure secure sockets layers (SSL/TLS), manage encrypted connection pools, isolate database roles, and construct logical gateways inside DMZs.
