Two Customers See Big Improvements, Can Share Data

The Mountain Regional Water District (MRW) and the city of Park City both wanted to improve their HMI/SCADA systems. Each was seeking a more reliable and robust HMI that could provide good data visibility, alarming, and expandability at an affordable cost. Further on in the project, there became a greater need to share data between the two entities and run automated reports.

Largest Cherry Production Line in the World Thrives on Ignition

Ignition enables Prima Frutta to share data about the line with workers throughout the plant. Every day, 10 managers and 900 other employees get data from more than 120 video screens around the facility. The screens are three different sizes: 27 inches, 32 inches, and 60 inches. Every year, Prima Frutta adds more monitors.

Large Plant Sees Numerous Improvements from Switch to Ignition

The purpose of this project was to swap out the site’s previous SCADA system with Ignition. The site previously used 23 servers to run its SCADA system; the Ignition system now uses four. The site previously ran on Windows, but as a part of this upgrade the SCADA system (servers and clients) is exclusively running on Linux. This has provided a lot of flexibility to tailor the system architecture to the site’s needs.
