System-wide SCADA Migration Brings Greater Capabilities and Lower Costs

Brown Engineers replaced CAW’s obsolete, clunky and expensive SCADA system with a secure, future-proofed, Ignition-based system that has two master control points and allows full use of all operational data collected.

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.

SCADA and More for Eight Road Tunnels

Bouygues Energies & Services is using Ignition in several capacities as part of its project for the L2 bypass in Marseilles. Bouygues created the Centralized Technical Management (CTM) system with Ignition and Siemens PLCs. The system keeps eight road tunnels under constant surveillance along their entire length of 6.2 miles. CTM processes data from over 12,000 I/O control points and more than 120,000 tags.

Greater Accuracy Monitoring Gas Usage in Bangladesh

The HIT System is an Ignition-powered application designed to facilitate more accurate gas utilities monitoring in Bangladesh. It includes a CRM for managing customers as well as a data storage and analysis portion that runs against incoming gas usage statistics.

Making Data Available Across Several Divisions

Kinetrex contacted Miller-Eads Automation to request a proposed solution. After investigating the problems caused by the combination and limited functionality of the many software packages, Miller-Eads presented a proposal using Ignition to integrate the many types and versions of software and expand the overall system’s capabilities.
