SCADA and HMI with Ignition and WinCC
We build and extend SCADA and HMI systems on Inductive Automation Ignition and Siemens WinCC: new systems, alarm management, historians and migrations from legacy SCADA.
What we deliver
- New Ignition projects: Perspective views, UDTs, alarming and historian
- Extensions and maintenance of existing WinCC projects
- Alarm management: clean-up, priorities and first-out logic
- Historian, trends and production reports
- Tag structures and UDT libraries that scale across lines
- Migration from legacy SCADA to Ignition, AI-assisted
Where AI helps
Our Engineering Assistant reads WinCC V7 projects and works on Ignition development gateways: it drafts views from UDTs, validates tag bindings and documents what it changed. Our Operator Assistant sits on top of the SCADA and explains alarms in plain language.
Questions we get
Ignition or WinCC: which one should we choose?
It depends on your plant. WinCC fits tightly with Siemens controllers and existing WinCC know-how. Ignition is licensed per server, runs in a web browser and connects to many controller brands. We help you weigh licensing, standards, IT/OT security and the skills of your team.
Can you clean up our alarms?
Yes. We analyse the alarm history, remove duplicates and nuisance alarms, set priorities and first-out logic, so operators see what matters.
Can you migrate our old WinCC system to Ignition?
Yes. See legacy PLC and SCADA migration: AI reads the existing project and drafts the new one, and our engineers review and test every part.
