Inductive Automation has released prebuilt, industry-specific solutions via their Ignition Exchange. These are designed to provide Ignition users a running start while building solutions for their specific industry. I’ve seen this idea pop up from time to time amongst software developers. I’m convinced they must be a great way for a developer to start a project. I’ve appreciated examples and starter ideas for projects I’ve worked on.
There are currently two Industry Packs available.
Water Industry Pack
The Water Industry Pack contains easily customizable resources to help you quickly build screens for water/wastewater facilities.
- Prebuilt components (including tanks, pumps, valves, and VFDs)
- A UDT that pairs with each component
- Advanced resources (like custom SVGs)
Data Center Industry Pack
The Data Center Industry Pack offers ready-to-use solutions for data centers. While it was designed with data centers in mind, it’s helpful for other industries as well.
- Widgets to display KPI details, input/output power, and more
- Dynamic popups (to display tag names and values)
- Faceplate & UDT pairs for UPS and AHU
- A Comtrade resource (to import and view Comtrade data)
Inductive Automation expects to expand these Industry Packs over time, and add more packs for other industries in the future.
