Plant-Wide SCADA Modernization with Ignition

System Deliverables

SCADA System Migration

A patchy, undocumented SCADA setup was replaced with Ignition-installed in parallel, so production never had to stop while the switch happened.

Unified Plant Platform

Processing, packaging, and SAP systems now live under one Ignition platform-connected, standardized, and finally talking to each other.

System Extensibility

When COVID-19 made Thermal-Access tracking a priority, Ignition’s flexibility made it straightforward to bolt on-proof the platform can grow with the plant.

Results in Action

Improved System Reliability

Replacing the aging SCADA eliminated the unplanned production losses it kept causing, bringing stability and predictability back to daily operations.

Supportable Infrastructure

A centralized platform means maintenance and future improvements can be handled internally or by a third-party-no complicated hand-holding required.

Operational Efficiency

A unified SCADA and integrated custom applications cut through operational complexity, giving everyone a clearer, more connected view of the process.

  • Magnum’s Controls & Process Automation Group implemented a migration strategy to install and commission the Ignition system in parallel with the existing system to avoid a major system disruption.

  • The manufacturer now has a supportable, predictable system that is used in multiple functional areas of the plant.

  • Ignition provides a reliable platform that can be supported and developed internally or by system integrators. Ignition would provide the power to reliably replace the existing system and the flexibility to extend the application to other functional areas of the plant, allowing visibility across the plant from a single system. Additionally, Ignition enabled a single platform to control both processing and packaging areas of the plant.
