VisionX evidence with Ignition workflows
Connect AI inspection results, image evidence, OCR, quality findings and review status to the operator workflow around an existing Ignition application.
Integration pattern availableDelfers for Ignition
Keep Ignition.Add the intelligence layer.
Delfers complements the Ignition environment you already trust with computer vision, manufacturing execution, digital twin context and governed AI. Start with one measurable use case. Keep your SCADA foundation. Scale only what proves value.

A complementary architecture
Do not replace what already works.
Ignition is often the operational application layer customers already depend on. Our approach is to add differentiated intelligence beside it, using open interfaces and clear system boundaries instead of forcing a rip-and-replace program.
Ignition tags, UDTs & alarms→Context for vision, MES, twin and AI workflows
Historian & production events→Evidence, analysis and governed recommendations
Perspective operator experience→Surface evidence and status without another daily UI
OPC UA / MQTT / REST / SQL→Interoperability first; no proprietary transport requirement
Start with an outcome
Four practical ways to begin.
We separate what can be delivered through existing interfaces today from the Ignition-native components we are validating with design partners. No roadmap item is presented as generally available software.
Ignition 8.3 readiness assessment
An engineering-led review of modules, architecture, redundancy, security, historian, deployment practices and migration risk before production is touched.
Assessment offeringFabrix + Ignition execution boundary
Keep Ignition focused on SCADA/HMI while Fabrix manages work-order execution, genealogy, quality, OEE and maintenance with an explicit integration contract between them.
Architecture pattern availableDelfi and Sentrix on governed plant context
Use Ignition's supported AI access path for Ignition-side context while Delfi and Sentrix focus on cross-system reasoning, citations, policy and human-approved workflows across Ignition, Fabrix, VisionX and enterprise systems.
Design-partner roadmapOur operating principles
Complement the ecosystem. Do not clone it.
The fastest path to customer value is to extend the investments already in place and work with the integrator the customer already trusts.
No SCADA replacement agenda
Ignition can remain the operational application foundation while Delfers adds focused capabilities.
No new MQTT or knowledge plumbing
Use established MQTT, historian, UNS and context layers where they already exist instead of recreating infrastructure.
No silent control writes
AI stays policy-bounded with clear approvals, citations and auditability for operational actions.
Integrator-friendly delivery
The local partner can retain the customer relationship while Delfers brings product engineering and specialist delivery.
Design-partner roadmap
The Ignition-native pieces we want to build with real customers.
These are roadmap candidates, not generally available products. We want the interface contract and operator experience validated against live architectures before turning them into packaged modules.
Delfers Bridge for Ignition
- Read tags, UDT context, alarms and selected historian data through governed interfaces.
- Publish VisionX, Fabrix, Cortex, Sentrix and Delfi status back to approved application contexts.
- Support explicit health, version and audit metadata.
- Follow Ignition 8.3/2027 module and security guidance.
Focused adapters
- VisionX evidence component for operator review.
- UNS contract validator for naming, schema and context drift.
- Fabrix execution connector for work-order and production context.
- Delfi and Sentrix interoperability with Inductive Automation's supported MCP path and existing industrial context layers.

Keep the customer relationship. Add capabilities you do not want to build from scratch.
Delfers is looking for a small number of serious North American delivery and reseller partners. The objective is simple: the partner leads the local relationship and Ignition delivery; Delfers supplies product engineering, architecture and specialist support.
