The Future Is Here
Ignition 8.3 isn't just a step forward — it's the new starting point. The age of rigid, siloed industrial software is over. 8.3 redefines what OT software can be. It's the world's most advanced industrial platform — powerful, scalable, and open by design, built to unify your operations and move at the speed of modern enterprises. The future is here, and it's running in real time.

“Ignition has disrupted the industry and defined a new paradigm in industrial enterprise integration. With Version 8.3, we have completed our long-standing vision to create the world’s most powerful, most open, and most flexible application development platform.”

Unlock Your Data's Full Potential
Easily store more data, connect to more devices, and integrate with more systems to take your data to the next level!

The Universal Historian Solution
8.3 introduces a major upgrade with the new Historian Module Suite, which includes two powerful modules: the Historian Core Module and the SQL Historian Module. More than just an industrial historian, this module suite provides a versatile and universal historian solution for almost any application.

Choose Your Own Historian
Combine Ignition with external SQL databases to create a high-performant historian or utilize the suite’s new and powerful built-in historian.

A Library of Tools
This suite offers multiple tools for rich data modeling, metadata storage, and leveraging data sources — like CSV files and database tables — as read-only historians.

Define Your Own Types
8.3 introduces a new public API that enables module developers to implement their own historians, making Ignition a platform for building historians.

Store & Retrieve Local Data Faster
Leverage the new Internal Historian - QuestDB to store, analyze, and manage time-series data. This no-maintenance historian, included in the Historian Core Module, offers native data aggregation and efficiency-boosting performance for local data storage, processing, and retrieval.

Use It Right Out Of The Box
Get a powerful historian solution that requires zero configuration — no external database required!!
Open, Cross-Platform Tech
Gain flexibility with open, platform-independent tech that doesn’t lock you into proprietary restrictions.
Find Data Fast
Enjoy richer data modeling with storage and queries up to 10 times faster than Ignition's previous internal tag history provider!
Streamline Your DataOps
Ignition has always been the foremost solution for managing data operations, and our new Event Streams Module makes it even easier. This powerful module for mapping and directing event-driven data, creates a communication pipeline between various sources (such as tag changes or Kafka topics) and handlers (like scripts or database tables). Effortlessly connect disparate industrial and enterprise subsystems for data sharing, filtering, and transformation, all natively within Ignition.
Centralize Events Management
Handle and manage tag changes, database events, alarms, and more from a central location.
Subscribe to Even More Data
Use message queues, brokers, and buses to subscribe to data and trigger automatic updates.
Gain Flexibility for Your Data
Process data with Apache Kafka for use directly in Ignition, or pass it on to external sources.
Simplify Your Project Workflow
Streamline processes and add more customization to your projects with new tools for drawing graphics, building forms, and submitting data.
Build & Edit Custom Graphics In Perspective
Add more customization to your dashboards with Ignition Perspective’s all-new Drawing Editor. This first-class vector illustration interface enables you to create custom graphics for your dashboards and HMIs without ever leaving the Ignition Designer.

Design
Create new vector graphics from scratch with a library of controls spanning SVG's rich capability range.

Edit
Add or remove elements, alter colors, and modify stroke weights to your current library of SVGs directly in the Designer.

Bind to Tags
Bind graphical elements to dynamic sources like tags or connect them to systems directly from the drawing editor.
Generate Flexible Forms In A Flash
Quickly create flexible and customizable forms with Perspective’s new time-saving form generator. Simply configure your sections, fields, conditional logic, and validation rules just once, and this form component will automatically build a form’s responsive layout, internal data logic, and client-side validation.
Use Offline Mode To Enter Data From Anywhere
Connectivity is no longer a requirement — use the new offline form in the Perspective mobile app to enter and submit project data from remote sites anywhere and any time. The data will be stored for upload and syncing with your systems when connectivity is restored.

“Whether you’re a total Ignition newbie or have many years of experience, Ignition 8.3 brings a whole new level of power to your systems.”
Chief Technology Evangelist, Inductive Automation
Manage & Configure Systems With Ease
Reach new levels with the world’s most scalable platform. Efficiently navigate and manage large systems, share resources, and access your projects and connections quicker than ever.
The Ignition Gateway Puts More At Your Fingertips
Manage systems easier than ever with Ignition’s redesigned gateway web interface and intuitive navigation. The new gateway UI scales with you and puts more at your fingertips, including global search capabilities and with instant integration and customization of connectors. It’s a gateway — your way.

Unlock Unprecedented Extensibility with the Built-In REST API
The first of its kind in industrial SCADA systems, Ignition's new built-in REST API makes it the most open, modern, and programmatically configurable platform on the market. Easily connect or manage enterprise configurations via the web UI or an external agent, unlocking new possibilities like leveraging AI with your industrial data.

Connect to More PLCs
The platform now offers a Siemens S7+ driver, enabling seamless connectivity to all your Siemens PLCs. This new driver supports browsing capabilities, symbolic access, and direct I/O channel access, without the need for manual reconfiguration.
Deploy & Secure Large Systems
Boost system management for your enterprise with powerful new integrations and features. Streamline build-test-deploy processes with deployment modes, elevate project collaboration and version control with Git, and provide more protection for your data using advanced security features.
Simplify Build-Test-Deploy Processes
Create and manage configurations for multiple environments within a single server with 8.3’s new Gateway deployment mode. Utilize different environments for development, staging, production, and more, making it simpler and safer to test, update, or modify your Ignition server.
Gain Better Version Control & Collaboration With Git
Use Git — a free and open-source distributed version control system that tracks changes to projects during software development — with Ignition 8.3 to gain complete version control and a better way to collaborate on big projects.

Use Containers For IT-Managed Deployment Orchestration
8.3 simplifies using containers to put Ignition into one lightweight executable resource for IT management. It’s OpenAPI-compliant, and works with tech like Kubernetes, Helm charts, and orchestration systems as a one-click deployment without software installation for on-premise or cloud service operations.

Protect Your Data With Secrets Management
Secrets Management removes passwords, certificates, and encryption keys from gateway configuration. This private data is safely stored and protected from unauthorized parties accessing application infrastructure in shared configuration. On top of that, 8.3 adds extensibility for integration with third-party secrets management platforms such as HashiCorp Vault.
Support For The Long Haul
Build your system on a stable foundation for the future with this long-term support (LTS) release, receiving regular updates and enhancements through the next five years.
