Corso Systems shows you how to get the most performance out of Ignition's built-in process historian. On top of the basic functionality you can use the Tag History Splitter to store data to make recent data and long term data easily accessible for different use cases.

A leading manufacturer of high-quality, single-source recipe pet food with facilities across North America required a production scheduling management and OEE tracking system for a greenfield Facility. Ignition by Inductive Automation along with the OEE and Scheduling module from Sepasoft was chosen for the SCADA and MES platform, and the required functionality was developed by Corso Systems and tested with various OEM manufacturers on the various production and packaging lines at the facility.

Learn why you may (or may not) want to use Ignition Edge for your next project. With more hardware companies participating in Ignition On-Board program, Ignition Edge is becoming even more prevalent. Here’s what to consider about Ignition Edge:

Corso Systems presents a step by step tutorial for setting up Google SAML with your Ignition Gateway and Perspective Projects.

Corso Systems describes the second section of the High Performance HMI Handbook. We review analyzing HMIs, developing HP HMI standards for new systems, and the comparison of non-High Performance Graphics with High Performance HMI designs.

Corso Systems uses High Performance HMI (HP-HMI) design principles on our projects. This post covers the first section of the High Performance HMI Handbook, including a history of industrial HMIs, why they started out on the wrong foot, and how to design them for more effective operations.
