It's a software system created by 
Shareable and useful code I've written for use with Ignition. Many are convenience functions or wrappers for common tasks while developing in Ignition. Also, this readme with some information about my work with Ignition.
- Psuedo-tag: for a cleaner, more object-oriented style to interact with a tag.
- PyDataList: for working on DataSets as Python lists, with many extras.
- save_console_code: ever have the Ignition designer's script console freeze up and lose your code? Call this at the top and save it to a file automatically.
- utils: many small convenience functions.
These are Ignition projects that I've built that are now in production.
A couple notes:
- These were built for large production displays and screencapped on a personal computer screen, so a few things are displayed a bit cramped.
- Some information is obscured or substituted as it is proprietary or otherwise not fit for public disclosure.
This was the first interface I built using Ignition. The operators select their work order on a filtered list extracted from JD Edwards, the product and corresponding running conditions are loaded from a database, as well as displaying the instructions for how that product should be packed. This interface works with a smart remote for easy input.
This is a dashboard for supervisors who have to keep an eye on several production departments at the same time. This shows current conditions and trends across three departments for multiple production lines each. The bright red buttons allow the supervisor to drop down into the full HMI interface for that production line (epoxy coating above) for full details and they can interact with the screen as if they were right at the machine, even from offsite. The general manager of production overseeing these supervisors called this interface a "game changer."
This interface uses data from several other systems, our JDE business ERP and a third party scanning system. The scanner detects regions of the product that need to be removed, they are highlighted on the table on the left with bright red backgrounds. The length line chart has the actual length produced this shift in blue. The red line shows what the projected had been until the current time and then proceeds with what the projected length going forward is based on the product specifications. The colored boxes pull special instructions relevant to operators, supervisors, and quality control. The single row table at the bottom is displaying the most recently produced in-progress material (from JDE) so that the thickness scanner can catch any issues while production can still correct it.
