01
Monitoring, control and maintenance
Define clear operating boundaries for equipment status, interlocks, manual controls, and maintenance, with visible faults and feedback for each action.
01 / IGNITION
Real time means more than fast screen updates. Work orders, barcode scans, SOPs, equipment, materials, quality, and operator feedback must stay connected to the same production context. We use Ignition to turn live signals into work that operators can carry out safely.

01 / REAL-TIME APPLICATIONS
Turn real-time data into
tools your team uses every day.
Behind each screen are PLCs, barcode scanners, printers, process documents, work orders, and enterprise systems. A real-time application earns its value when these connections remain coordinated during faults and exceptions.
02
Barcode-driven workstation execution
Validate work orders and serial numbers before starting the correct workflow, then coordinate SOPs, recipes, labels, and equipment actions to prevent errors.
03
Manufacturing operations and product genealogy
Bring work orders, equipment, material lots, inspection results, and product relationships into one real-time workspace, so execution decisions and traceability rely on actual production records.
04
Alarms and engineering diagnostics
Connect alarms, I/O states, communication messages, and recovery actions so engineers can locate faults with less guesswork during downtime.
02 / ARCHITECTURE
An industrial data core needs open integration.
Ignition can do more than SCADA without replacing every MES, ERP, or control system. It provides shared connectivity, live status, and operator interfaces, and can bring work orders, equipment, materials, quality, and product genealogy into a manufacturing operations workspace built around shop-floor tasks.

03 / DELIVERY
Start on the shop floor,
validate in production.
Equipment constraints, operator practices, exception handling, and recovery procedures determine whether an application works on the shop floor. We validate it against actual production cycle times and conditions.
STEP 01
Understand production actions
Follow work orders, code scanning, equipment response and exception handling through the real process to confirm system boundaries.
STEP 02
Build real-time models
Model equipment, workstations, products, and states as reusable objects to keep the system maintainable as it grows.
STEP 03
Build shop-floor applications
Build Perspective / Vision interfaces and application logic around operator and engineer tasks.
STEP 04
Verify in production
Validate the system under actual cycle times, communication outages, product changeovers, shift handovers, and recovery scenarios.
Ignition implementation, development and integration
Ducui Technology delivers Ignition engineering services for new projects and existing systems, connecting equipment, operator workflows and business data, with validation under production conditions.
Ignition SCADA / HMI implementation
Define monitoring requirements, operator permissions and failure scenarios, then configure the Gateway, connect PLC data, develop alarm and historian applications, and validate commissioning and recovery procedures.
Custom Perspective / Vision development
Develop Ignition screens and scripts for operators, process engineers and maintenance teams. Connect barcode verification, electronic work instructions, recipes and workstation execution, with custom Java Module SDK development where platform extensions are needed.
MES / ERP, SQL database and API integration
Integrate Ignition with existing MES, ERP, SQL databases and business APIs. Define ownership of work order dispatch, status updates and production reporting to reduce manual entry and inconsistent records.
Unified Namespace architecture and MQTT / OPC UA integration
Design a Unified Namespace (UNS) around equipment, workstations and production states. Use OPC UA data connections and MQTT messaging as appropriate to give industrial IoT (IIoT) applications a shared data context.
Ignition performance tuning and system modernization
Diagnose Gateway load, tag subscriptions, scripts and database access. Review alarms, reconnection behavior and deployment rollback to make existing SCADA and shop-floor applications easier to maintain.
Historian, SQL Bridge and SFC process sequencing
Select Historian, SQL Bridge and Sequential Function Charts (SFC) modules around data retention, database transactions and process sequences. Develop trend views, data logging and recipe workflows according to project requirements and licensed modules.
