Experience

Tire Curing Monitoring System

The project involved developing a web client-based Ignition SCADA system for the tire industry. The system has an information dashboard, alarms, reports, and historical trends for the shop floor. The dashboard screen displays live key process values, production data, machine running status, and active alarms on a large TV in every part of the plant. I created a custom application for recipe management and ticketing in Ignition Perspective.

Cell Controller Web Portal

I created an Ignition application as a web portal for the company's needs and business requirements. It includes a main view, dashboards, a detailed view, and data maintenance entries. The application's user management consists of the organization's active directory users, enabling users to get pictures through web API.
