Most traditional SCADA systems in the automotive industry are built on restrictive, license-based models, requiring separate licenses for each site, client, and project. With Ignition’s unlimited licensing model and server-based architecture, companies can expand operations seamlessly without per-client fees, connect unlimited production lines and facilities, and eliminate hidden costs associated with legacy SCADA systems.

Automotive manufacturers require seamless IT & OT integration. Ignition bridges the gap with industry-standard technologies like SQL, Python, OPC UA, and MQTT, enabling faster decision-making with real-time data visibility, a single source of truth across production assets, and efficient collaboration between engineering teams and enterprise systems.

With cyber threats targeting industrial control systems (ICS) and SCADA networks, Ignition is designed with enterprise-grade security, including end-to-end encryption (TLS, SSL) for secure data transfers, role-based access control (RBAC) and multi-factor authentication (MFA), and audit logging and anomaly detection for compliance with industry cybersecurity frameworks.

Legacy SCADA systems are typically built to be platform-dependent, meaning they can only run on a specific operating system. Ignition installations are completely cross-platform: they run on Windows, Linux, and macOS operating systems.

Ignition’s Perspective Module allows automotive professionals to monitor and control critical assets from any device, anywhere. Users can access SCADA dashboards from mobile, tablets, or laptops, monitor assembly lines and supply chains, and receive real-time alerts and maintenance notifications.

The automotive industry is rapidly transitioning towards digital transformation, and future-proofed architectures are essential for maintaining efficiency, safety, and reliability. Ignition’s cloud and edge computing capabilities provide a scalable, resilient, and high-performance solution for modern SCADA, IIoT, and remote monitoring needs.

This simulated Automotive Production Line project (a vertical from the Ignition Public Demo) showcases SCADA features, dynamic animations, and recipe tracking in Ignition. The project highlights vehicle recipe creation, VIN tracking, and real-time progress monitoring across individual production cells. It uses the Perspective View Canvas and CSS for animated workflows, along with dashboards for production flow, duration metrics, and car history.

This resource is meant as a Perspective frontend for existing OEE data. There is a UDT Definition with Expression tags for Availability, Performance, and Quality to be set up by the user, and an OEE tag that calculates the OEE by multiplying those values together. 

This resource includes two projects and a tag UDT definition with one instance example. There are some shared scripts and named queries within the "global" project. The "oee_downtime" project has...
