Is it possible to do document management system using Ignition. We are planning to implement the work order tracking system with ignition. Our further scope is to flow set set of required documents in digital form (Paperless) along the work order. Currently we don't have any MES system and ignition should be our starting point. Kindly advise. Thanks in advance.

Sure, but brace yourself for a fair bit of work. It is really just database design and a bunch of user interfaces to view and manipulate the DB.
