Ignition Module

Ignition by Inductive Automation is a leading SCADA and IIoT Platform deployed by many HighByte Intelligence Hub users. Ignition may be used as a SCADA for real time monitoring and control of machines and processes and/or as an IIoT platform to build advanced visualizations and web-based applications for a broader purpose. Depending on these usage patterns, Ignition can be a data source or a data destination for the Intelligence Hub, allowing users to connect to and model data from a diverse array of telemetry, transactional, time series, and file-based data sources for Ignition.

The Ignition Module for HighByte Intelligence Hub provides unmatched connectivity with the Ignition platform. The native integration unlocks new capabilities not possible with existing approaches such as OPC UA or MQTT / Sparkplug. Use the Ignition Module to build a scalable architecture, orchestrate data modeling and governance across your manufacturing sites, and easily integrate this leading SCADA and IIoT platform into your enterprise data strategy.

Video Tutorial

Watch HighByte CTO Aron Semle showcase the new Ignition Module in HighByte Intelligence Hub. Aron demonstrates how to install the module in Ignition and connect it to the Intelligence Hub. See Aron browse Ignition Tag Providers, read UDTs, and then send tags directly to Snowflake using the Intelligence Hub. Finally, Aron demonstrates how modeled data from PI System can be easily sent to Ignition, creating both UDTs and UDT instances in Ignition and replicating the PI System Asset Framework (AF) data.
