Improved Control and Supervision
The Solution: The Perfect Pairing of Ignition and Siemens
Industry
Our client specializes in the petrochemical industry.
Needs
Our mandate for this client in the niche petrochemical industry consisted of reprogramming the existing SCADA platform to a new, more powerful and up-to-date software package, and subsequently adding new functions to the system.
Solutions
In a first step, our team analyzed and defined the object-oriented structures for the exchange points with the PLCs.
We also created reusable graphic templates for the new structures.
Next, we performed several integrations with the customer’s ERP SQL databases, before adding new supervision functions made possible by the new SCADA system.

More effective alert management,
allowing the right people to be notified at the right time when action is required
Enhanced functionality at lower cost
compared to the old SCADA platform
