Ignition is brilliant at what it does. Useless at everything else your data + AI needs to touch.
Ignition publishes a clean Unified Namespace over MQTT Sparkplug-B, but ERP posts from overnight files, maintenance reacts to paper, and AI models stall because tag and alarm history never leaves the Gateway contextualised with asset data.
The integration tool you've already tried probably can't fix it.
App-to-app. Useful, until it isn't.
Connectors for Ignition, Slack + a thousand other cloud apps. Cheap + fast for the easy half of integration. Where they hit a wall:
- ERP that needs production counts, energy and machine runtime posted against the right asset
- CMMS/EAM that should raise work orders from live alarms and machine runtime hours
- Historian or data lake needing contextualised Ignition tag data for analytics and AI
- MES and OEE systems needing real-time production and downtime signals off the line
ERP, MES, historians, sensors + AI. One platform.
The integration platform built for what other tools can't (or won't) reach - plus an AI data fabric, MCP server + app builder layered on top.
- Ignition + every ERP, MES and historian system
- MQTT, OPC-UA, REST, cloud IoT, historians + custom-built connectors.
- Files, legacy SQL, FTP + custom-built connectors
- Real-time bidirectional sync, tier-aware + rate-limit-safe
- AI Data Fabric, MCP, automation + custom apps included
Ignition + Rayven: AI, automation + tools that reach every system you run.
5 examples of what Rayven customers run on Ignition + integrated systems. Built in weeks, not months.
Production + runtime post to ERP
Live tag, production-count and runtime data streams from Ignition's Sparkplug-B broker into ERP against the right asset and cost centre. Planning and finance see actual output in real-time, not a morning spreadsheet.
Alarms raise work orders automatically
A high-vibration or over-temperature alarm in Ignition raises a work order in CMMS with asset, tag and timestamp attached. Runtime hours drive preventive schedules, so maintenance is condition-based rather than calendar-based.
Historian data, AI-ready
Every tag, alarm and event from the Tag Historian streams into Rayven's Industrial AI Data Fabric, contextualised with asset and maintenance data. AI agents query live equipment health, energy and downtime across every site.
Every site in one namespace
Rayven rolls up the Unified Namespace from every Ignition Gateway into cross-site dashboards and field apps. Operations compares plants live, without a separate Gateway login per site or a manual export.
Governed tag writeback
Where you scope it, Rayven writes approved values back to Ignition tags over OPC-UA under full audit and role-based control. Rayven never issues device commands and leaves the control and safety loop untouched.
Integration is the start with Rayven.
Here's what comes with it.
Rayven isn't just a Ignition connector. It's the operational software platform underneath - so once Ignition is connected, four more capabilities come online by default.
AI-ready data layer (AI Data Fabric)
Ignition data joined with ERP, IoT + legacy - contextualised, unified and structured so AI models, agents and tools can use it without ETL prep work.

Live AI access (Rayven MCP)
Claude, ChatGPT + Gemini get live, governed access to Ignition and every other connected system. Your AI stops guessing - cites real Ignition records + numbers.
Learn more →
Automation + AI agents
Workflows + AI agents act on Ignition data without human intervention - escalate at-risk accounts, trigger operational work, auto-update forecasts, draft customer comms.
Learn more →
Custom apps + portals
Unified customer portals, ops dashboards, mobile field apps, partner portals - built on top of integrated Ignition data. No separate BI tool, no separate dev stack.

All on top of your existing stack. No rip + replace. Ignition stays Ignition. Rayven works on what you've already built. Specifically tuned for Ignition Unified Namespace streaming + Tag Historian roll-up.
Rayven is a five-layer platform ALL your integrations + much more
can run on.
Integration is one layer of Rayven. Data, execution, presentation + governance are the other four - all delivered as one platform on one commercial.
Pick the right tool for your stack.
Ignition integration looks different at every scale. Honest comparison of the four common paths - Rayven only wins on some of them.
The integration is the easy bit.
The platform + team behind it is the difference.
Platform + team. One commercial.
Not five vendors stitched together. Rayven is the platform AND the Australia-based expert team that scopes, builds + supports it. One commercial. No licence stacking, no finger-pointing.
Built for Ignition's Unified Namespace.
Rayven subscribes to Ignition's MQTT Sparkplug-B broker and OPC-UA server through the Gateway web API, ingesting the Unified Namespace, alarms and Tag Historian data into ERP, CMMS and AI with report-by-exception streaming and no per-tag licence penalty.
We stay after go-live.
No handoff. No disappearing. Rayven is a long-term partner when your Ignition evolves, your stack changes, or you push further. 24/7 support. Same team, same platform, same commercial.
Hosted your way, where you need.
Deploy as cloud, private cloud + on-premise - in Australia, the US, the UK, or anywhere else your Ignition data needs to live. Your residency, your rules, your local compliance environment.
The questions Ignition admins, RevOps + IT ask first.

What is Ignition IIoT integration?
Ignition IIoT integration is the practice of connecting Ignition's data hub to the rest of your operation - ERP, CMMS, historians and AI - so tag, alarm and runtime data is usable everywhere it matters. Rayven delivers it as part of an Industrial AI Data Fabric, reading data alongside the Gateway, never running as your IoT platform.
How does Rayven connect Ignition to other systems?
Rayven subscribes to Ignition's MQTT Sparkplug-B broker and OPC-UA server and reads the Tag Historian through the Gateway web API. Tags, alarms and events flow as first-class integration events in real-time, bidirectionally where scoped. See the Rayven Platform for how the integration and data layers fit together.
How is this different from Ignition SCADA integration?
This page covers Ignition as an IIoT data hub - the Unified Namespace, MQTT Sparkplug-B and edge streaming into your enterprise and AI. For the control-room view - reading tags, alarms and setpoints alongside the control layer - see Ignition SCADA integration. Both read data alongside your platform and never run as your IoT platform or control the process.
Does Rayven control or replace Ignition?
No. Rayven reads and unifies Ignition tag, alarm and historian data and sits alongside your Gateway; it is not an IoT platform and does not replace Ignition. Supervised tag writeback runs only where you scope it, under audit and role-based control. Rayven never issues device commands and leaves the control and safety loop untouched. See the Rayven Platform.
How long does Ignition IIoT integration take with Rayven?
Most Ignition integrations go live in 2-12 weeks. A single Ignition-to-ERP or alarm-to-CMMS flow runs in 2-3 weeks; a full Industrial AI Data Fabric with predictive maintenance runs 6-12 weeks. Choose DIY, done-for-you or hybrid delivery.
What are the technical specifics of Ignition (Inductive Automation) integration with Rayven?
Rayven connects to Ignition through its native OPC-UA server and MQTT Sparkplug-B broker, plus the Gateway web API for tag, alarm and historian access, authenticated with Gateway API keys and OPC-UA certificate security. Report-by-exception tag changes stream in real-time; Tag Historian queries are batched and paginated so large backfills never overload the Gateway. Tags, alarms, UDT instances and the Unified Namespace structure are preserved with field-level mapping into ERP, CMMS and AI targets. Per-Gateway tag scope is rolled up to one cross-site model via Rayven's asset-master layer. Legacy tags reachable only over Modbus or OPC-DA are bridged the same way. Where scoped, supervised tag writeback runs over OPC-UA under role-based control and full audit logging; Rayven never issues device commands and leaves the control and safety loop untouched. This page covers the IIoT data-hub angle; the Ignition SCADA page covers the control-room view. Validated against Ignition 8.x with the MQTT and OPC-UA modules across single and multi-Gateway architectures.
