Simplify Dashboard Creation
with Ignition Data

By connecting Inductive Automation’s Ignition platform to IGear’s SQUEAKS platform, manufacturers can turn real-time factory data into easy to configure, no code dashboards and metrics.

Ignition is a powerful tool for collecting and managing data from the factory floor. It excels at aggregating real-time data from PLCs, sensors, and other industrial devices, giving manufacturers a centralized view of their operations. With its flexible architecture and robust scripting capabilities, Ignition enables seamless integration across systems and provides a solid foundation for industrial automation.

What if anyone in your operation could see and use Ignition data to make better decisions?

SQUEAKS makes that possible.

SQUEAKS is a real-time communication and visualization platform that helps manufacturers stay informed about what’s happening now. It connects directly to Ignition, allowing you to share live data in a way that’s simple, visual, and collaborative.

How SQUEAKS Makes Ignition Better

SQUEAKS makes it easy to turn Ignition data into live dashboards and metrics—no coding required. With a simple drag-and-drop editor, users can quickly create custom views that highlight the information most important to them.

Key Benefits:

  • See real-time data from Ignition
     

  • Anyone can create dashboards without relying on engineering support, no coding required. 
     

  • Be in the know when data drops below performance goals
     

  • Share dashboards with your team
     

  • View data inside Microsoft Teams

How to Send Ignition Data to SQUEAKS

Here’s how an Ignition admin can set it up:
 

  1. Create a Gateway Scripting Project
    Store your SQUEAKS URL and authorization key in tags. Write a script to send data to SQUEAKS using its API.

     

  2. Set Up an Alarm Notification Pipeline
    This pipeline runs the script when a tag value changes.

     

  3. Configure Tag Alarms
    Add alarms to the tags you want to monitor. Set them to trigger on “Any Change.”

     

Once this is done, every time a tag’s value updates, SQUEAKS receives the new value and displays it as a Metric.

View Ignition Data in Microsoft Teams

With the SQUEAKS app for Microsoft Teams, your Ignition data becomes part of your daily workflow. You can see live Metrics, get alerts, and collaborate—all inside Teams.

Why This Matters

This setup allows:

  • Non-technical users to build dashboards

  • Managers and operators to make better decisions

  • Engineers to focus on more technical tasks

  • Everyone to stay informed and aligned

Your Next Step Toward Smarter Manufacturing

Connecting Ignition to SQUEAKS gives your team the tools to see what’s happening now—without waiting for reports or needing special software. It’s a smarter way to use your data and improve performance across your enterprise.
