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.

“... in a history of spiritual rupture, a social compact built on fantasy and collective secrets, poetry becomes more necessary than ever: it keeps the underground aquifers flowing; it is the liquid voice that can wear through stone.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“What we call National-Socialism is the poisonous perversion of ideas which have a long history in German intellectual life.”
