History
Version 1.0 of FactorySQL and FactoryPMI were released in 2003.
In 2010, Inductive Automation updated FactorySQL and FactoryPMI with Ignition. The platform created a central user interface for both FactorySQL and FactoryPMI. Ignition has a modular architecture. Ignition is the platform, and FactorySQL and FactoryPMI became modules within that platform. FactorySQL has been renamed to Ignition SQL Bridge Module, and FactoryPMI has been renamed to Ignition Vision Module. Two other modules are also available: the Ignition Reporting Module, and the Ignition OPC-UA Module. The OPC-UA module can also be downloaded for free, and used as a stand-alone OPC-UA server.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“A poet’s object is not to tell what actually happened but what could or would happen either probably or inevitably.... For this reason poetry is something more scientific and serious than history, because poetry tends to give general truths while history gives particular facts.”
—Aristotle (384–323 B.C.)
“It takes a great deal of history to produce a little literature.”
—Henry James (1843–1916)
“Don’t give your opinions about Art and the Purpose of Life. They are of little interest and, anyway, you can’t express them. Don’t analyse yourself. Give the relevant facts and let your readers make their own judgments. Stick to your story. It is not the most important subject in history but it is one about which you are uniquely qualified to speak.”
—Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)
