System Modernization
You don't always need to replace your system. Sometimes you need to develop it further. We specialize in optimizing, refactoring, and restructuring active Ignition gateways.
// SYSTEM AUDIT PROGRESS
Expand & Optimize What Already Works
Many companies are told they need a complete, multi-million dollar "rip and replace" of their industrial SCADA or HMI systems because their existing setups are slow, hard to manage, or running on legacy frameworks. We believe that is rarely the only solution.
Because the Ignition platform is fundamentally modular, we can go into your active, running production gateway and surgically restructure, optimize, and refactor the system. We clean up cluttered code, speed up SQL database transactions, and add modern modules like Perspective web clients without disrupting your daily operations.
Our Modernization Capabilities
- Tag & UDT Restructuring: Cleaning up messy, flat tag schemas and consolidating them into tidy, parameterized User Defined Types (UDTs) to reduce CPU load.
- Centralizing Python Scripts: Moving outdated inline scripts from individual buttons into compiled project script libraries for easier troubleshooting and faster load times.
- Vision to Perspective Migration: Converting older, local control panels into responsive web views that run perfectly on standard tablets and mobile browsers.
- SQL Database Optimizations: Re-indexing slow data tables, repairing locked transaction blocks, and tuning connection pools to restore rapid responsiveness.
> Modernization Checklist
We systematically identify and fix performance bottlenecks in active gateways:
- Tag Audit Identify duplicate bindings / optimize scans
- Script Refactor Convert inline window events to modules
- HMI Conversions Migrate Vision panels to Perspective
- SQL Tuning Query optimization & index caching
- Gateway Layout Tune memory, garbage collection, drivers
// MINIMIZING DOWNTIME DURING REFITTING
Industrial environments cannot tolerate unscheduled downtime. We develop all refactored elements in a separate sandbox container, thoroughly simulating changes before applying updates using Ignition's hot-update mechanisms.
