Ignition for FactoryTalk View Developers
Corso Systems has worked extensively with Inductive Automation's Ignition platform, and Rockwell's FactoryTalk View SE. If you are familiar with FactoryTalk View, this post will describe how to leverage your experience as you dive into the world of Ignition.
Ignition's Tag History Splitter
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.
Confectionery Process Automation and OEE Tracking
A leading chocolate manufacturer in Pennsylvania needed to upgrade and more fully automate one of their production lines. This coincided with an MES Upgrade and allowed the production line to be fully integrated into the production scheduling and other systems implemented as part of the MES project.
Confectionery Manufacturing Execution System
A leading chocolate manufacturer in Pennsylvania needed a manufacturing execution system to tie together 9 different business systems into a single software package. This included customer order management, shipping and receiving, warehouse management, track and traceability, SPC, and in-process inventory tracking. Corso delivered a solution with Inductive Automation’s Ignition platform and helped take the company to the next level.
10 Torr Distilling and Brewing Process Automation
10 Torr Distilling and Brewing company built a brand new brewery and distilling operation in Reno NV. Corso Systems used Inductive Automation’s Ignition to create a fully automated control system for their brewing and distilling operations.
Pet Food Scheduling, OEE, and Maintenance Management System
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.
Automated Furnace Loading and Unloading Manipulator
A leading aerospace company has a production line consisting of multiple furnaces and quench pits capable of heat treating multiple batches of parts at a time. Their current hardware had reached the end of its life and was ready to be upgraded to modern standards. A new manipulator with full servo control, updated safety and interlock logic, and touchscreen operation was made to replace the old unit.
Oil & Gas OSI PI to Canary Conversion
A large oil and natural gas company had been using OSI PI requiring extensive overhead for support. They wanted to be able to better manage and develop the system to meet their needs, including allowing integrator support to get away from a single source of development resources. After a market analysis it was determined Canary Labs Historian was the best solution for this project.
Jaxon Renewables Case Study
Corso Systems worked with Jaxon Energy on new facility that was a complete overhaul and upgrade to an existing facility. This plant made renewable diesel fuel from vegetable oils. With total plant control and visibility in mind, Corso wrote PLC logic, designed the HMI screens, and deployed a process historian. Allen Bradley PLCs and FactoryTalk View SE provided the backbone of the control system.
Upgrading to Ignition 8.0 - Making the Leap
Corso Systems shares their experiences with a first large scale 7.9 to 8.0 Inductive Automation Ignition upgrade. While it went smoothly, there were a couple of hurdles. Find out how we solved the issues and what to watch out for when you perform an Ignition upgrade.
