Ignition Engineering Support for Your Team

Who this is for

You keep ownership of the system, and we add depth where your team needs it.

The typical case is a capable internal team with more backlog than people, and one or two areas nobody on staff has delivered at this scale, such as MES, a migration, historian design or an ERP interface. Hiring for those skills takes months. We can place senior Ignition engineers on your project instead.

Additional capacity for a go-live, a migration or a multi-site rollout
One specialist area covered, without a permanent hire
A second senior opinion from within the team
The same engineers after a build, so the people who commissioned it remain available to your team
Coverage when a key person leaves, while you hire a replacement

How it works

We work the way your team already works

Our engineers work in your repository, follow your standards and go through your code reviews. The system remains yours throughout.

StandardsYours, from naming to code review
ProcessYour backlog and your release schedule
OwnershipEverything stays in your repository and documentation
LengthA few weeks, or as long as you need us
SenioritySenior Ignition engineers, not general contract staff

What you get

What comes with our engineers

Engineers who know where Ignition systems typically fail
Their work is reviewed to the same standard as our own projects
A clear recommendation on decisions that are expensive to reverse
What they learn is documented in your repository
The rest of Artek's engineering team behind them when an unusual problem comes up
The option to hand us an entire subsystem later

On AI-assisted teams

Many internal teams now write code faster with AI tools. What tends to slip is a consistent architecture as the system grows, and clear ownership of how it behaves under load or when something fails. That is where our engineers help. How we use AI with Ignition →

If you want an outside review first

Some teams want an independent review of what they have built before adding people. A free Ignition MRI is the usual starting point. If the structure itself is the constraint, an Architecture Blueprint is the better fit. If the project is already in trouble, start with a Project Rescue.

Questions

Before you call

How is this different from hiring a staffing firm?+

A staffing firm sends whoever is available. We send senior Ignition engineers who build these systems every day and know where the platform tends to fail. Three of our team, including both founders, came from Inductive Automation. We also stay accountable for the work, because it carries our name.

Do your engineers work to our standards or yours?+

Yours. We follow your project structure, naming, tag conventions, review process and release schedule. If those are not yet settled, we can help you define them. Your team owns the system afterward, so it is built to your conventions, not ours.

How long do we have to commit for?+

Anywhere from a few weeks to see a migration through, to engineers who stay with your team long term. We prefer to start small and expand as the work proves itself, rather than commit you to headcount up front.

What happens when the engagement ends?+

Everything our engineers built and learned stays with you, in your repository and documentation. Your team should know more when we leave than when we arrived.
