Innovation for Everyone

Ignition 2027 gives you the foundation to unleash your innovation, and it truly has something for everyone. Whether you are an engineer looking to automate deployments or an executive driving enterprise standardization, Ignition helps you build industrial systems faster and scale further than ever.

“There simply is no other platform out there offering the diversity of functionality, the speed of development and deployment, and above all, the value of what we’re delivering with Ignition.”

Colby Clegg

CEO, Inductive Automation

 
 

Accelerate With AI — 
Your Way

Introducing Ignition Catalyst: a secure framework for working with AI inside Ignition. Instead of locking you into a proprietary 'walled garden,' Catalyst lets you securely connect the AI model of your choice directly to your industrial data. And because these features are completely optional, total control always stays in your hands.

Catalyst Core Module

Accelerate your engineering workflow with Catalyst Core. Built directly into the platform, this secure framework connects your choice of AI models to the Designer or Gateway—safely, without compromising your data.

Catalyst Agent Module

Build custom, autonomous agents without needing deep machine learning expertise or building infrastructure from scratch. With the Catalyst Agent Module, you get an open framework to design agents tailored to your specific OT processes.

Keep Systems Secure While Using AI

Build with confidence using a safety-first AI framework designed to keep you in complete control. Every AI action requires your explicit approval, and in just two clicks you can always restore a previous version of an AI-modified resource. Combined with deep integration into Ignition’s authentication model, you get powerful AI assistance without sacrificing system security.
Plus, accommodate air-gapped facilities with the option to keep data on-premises via Ollama, a platform that lets you run your own local LLM. This enables you to accommodate users who need that level of security.
