Hello everyone,

we are evaluating the introduction of Ignition in a real industrial environment (ceramic/terracotta manufacturing).

This is **not a job position** , but a **project-based collaboration**.

**Context:**

- existing production lines with PLCs (mainly Omron)

- need for real-time data acquisition and production monitoring

- integration with ERP (Microsoft Business Central)

- interest in a scalable architecture (potentially MQTT-based)

**What we are looking for:**

- solid experience with Ignition (Perspective preferred)

- OPC UA / PLC integration (Omron is a plus)

- database design for production data (historian, KPI, traceability)

- ability to define a robust and maintainable system architecture

**Scope:**

- initial phase: architecture definition and system setup

- possible extension to implementation and scaling

**Location:**  
We are preferably looking for someone based in **Italy (Tuscany is a plus)**, or at least available for occasional on-site visits.

**Important:**  
we are not looking for generic developers or first-time Ignition users.  
Real project experience is required.

If you have relevant experience, feel free to reply here or contact me directly with references.

Thanks.

Moved categories, as this is a solicitation.

Meanwhile, you should probably reach out to the Ignition distributor for Italy:
