Corso Systems explains how to use scripting on an Ignition trend chart to annotate a value. Display when an important value occured and what that value was - and more. While this functionality is not directly built into the reporting module, it’s easy using scripting on the trend component.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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:

Digital Transformation processes need to use data in the best possible ways. Is your Process Historian costly or poorly supported by the vendor? Here’s how Corso Systems can help you quickly migrate to a cutting edge, up to date Process Historian.

Corso Systems does a lot of "real" work using Ignition, but we also have fun with it! This is our internal MLB Pick 'Em league project. Using a free API to give us game schedules and results, we combined Ignition's powerful database integration features with this API to build a fully featured app to manage everyone's picks throughout the whole MLB Season!
