Enterprise SCADA Migration – Ignition Perspective Platform Implementation

Industry Food

Product/Material Handled Enterprise SCADA Migration

System Deliverables

Large-Scale SCADA System Migration

Migrating tens of thousands of tags across 22 controllers was a major effort, with all of them moved to Ignition Perspective throughout the facility.

Parallel System Deployment with Zero Downtime

Legacy and new systems operated simultaneously during the migration, ensuring production never had to stop during the transition.

Scalable, Web-Based HMI Architecture

Hundreds of responsive screens developed with web technology-prepared for future expansions or integrations.

Results in Action

Zero Production Downtime During Migration

The full SCADA migration was completed during peak production-without downtime or costly floor interruptions.

Improved Development Efficiency and Consistency

Custom tools automated tag creation and setup, significantly reducing development time while maintaining a consistent system architecture.

Future-Ready Enterprise Scalability

A standardized platform allows the system to expand across multiple facilities-laying the foundation for enterprise-wide monitoring, data integration, and future developments.

Our client approached us with a fairly ambitious plan for this migration based on our deep experience with Ignition products

The technology and upgrade plan weren’t unique, by themselves, but the ambitious scale of the application made it particularly challenging.” The client’s request included integration of tens of thousands of tags across twenty-two core, satellite, OEM, and utility controllers spanning an entire midwestern manufacturing facility.

The final startup element included a detailed tuning phase which ensured proper responsiveness and timing without overloading the legacy controllers nor the associated networks. This allowed for the full HMI migration to be completed with zero production downtime during what the customer considered their busiest time of year.
