Service 05 · Ignition SCADA

Turn your factory data into actionable intelligence.

At KNEO Automation we deliver end-to-end Ignition SCADA solutions that connect machines, PLCs, sensors and enterprise systems into a single intelligent platform — providing real-time visibility, improving productivity, reducing downtime and supporting smarter operational decisions.

The problem

Islands of data, none of them talking.

Most plants have a controller that knows the machine state, a historian nobody queries, a quality spreadsheet on someone's laptop and an ERP that finds out what happened a day late. Each system is correct. Together they tell you nothing.

Ignition's licensing model and web-based architecture make it a practical way to unify those islands without paying per client, per tag or per screen.

Deploy

Web-based clients — no per-seat installation

Connect

OPC UA to any modern PLC brand

Scale

From one line to a multi-site architecture

Extend

MES, OEE and IIoT modules on the same platform

SCADA screens showing plant overview mimics, trends and alarm summaries on operator workstations.
Our expertise

Scalable SCADA, HMI, MES, IIoT and reporting.

We develop solutions that provide real-time visibility, improve productivity, reduce downtime and support smarter operational decisions.

Real-Time SCADA & HMI Development

Operator-facing screens and plant overviews designed around how the line is actually run.

Ignition Perspective & Vision Applications

Mobile-first Perspective projects and classic Vision clients, chosen to fit the environment.

PLC & OPC UA Integration

Tag architecture and device connectivity across mixed-brand installed bases.

MES & OEE Solutions

Automated availability, performance and quality calculation with loss attribution.

Alarm & Event Management

Prioritised, deduplicated alarming with acknowledgement workflow and escalation.

Historian & Data Logging

Trend storage sized for the retention and resolution your analysis actually needs.

Custom Dashboards & Reports

Shift, line and management reporting delivered automatically rather than compiled by hand.

Database & ERP Integration

Bi-directional links to SQL databases and enterprise systems for orders, WIP and results.

Remote Monitoring & Mobile SCADA

Secure access for supervisors and support engineers on phone or tablet.

IIoT & Industry 4.0 Solutions

MQTT-based architectures for distributed sites and constrained connectivity.

SCADA Migration & System Upgrades

Moving off legacy or end-of-life SCADA without losing history or operator familiarity.

Annual Maintenance & Technical Support

Ongoing support contracts covering updates, tuning and issue resolution.

Outcomes

What changes on the floor.

Real-time visibility

Machine, line and plant state visible to anyone who needs it, on any authorised device.

Improved productivity

Losses attributed to a cause and a shift, so improvement work targets the right constraint.

Reduced downtime

Alarms that reach the right person quickly, with the context needed to respond.

Smarter decisions

Historised data that supports genuine analysis rather than anecdote.

Ignition or MAPP?

Choosing the right layer.

Both are valid. The right answer depends on whether your priority is plant control and visualisation, or manufacturing execution and quality.
