Boosting Automation Capabilities Through Ignition Certification

🌐 Let's Meet Our Engineer

Meet Husnun Ni'am, one of our Automation Engineers who has strengthened his technical capabilities through Ignition certification.

● Background
In his role, Husnun designs and implements automation solutions while programming and configuring HMI and SCADA systems using Ignition, Siemens TIA Portal, and Vijeo Citect. He also integrates data from field devices to supervisory and IIoT levels, troubleshoots system issues, and collaborates with operational teams to ensure every solution runs smoothly and reliably.

● Why Ignition Certification?
Because his work is closely tied to SCADA development, earning Ignition certification was a logical move. It deepened his understanding of the platform and boosted his confidence in designing efficient data integrations aligned with industry best practices.

● Expectations vs Reality
Husnun expected structured learning, but the certification proved to be more hands-on than he anticipated. Instead of testing memorized theory, the exam required him to solve real scenarios, identify problems, determine troubleshooting steps, and implement the correct solutions. This approach sharpened his critical and technical decision-making skills.

● Key Challenges Along the Way
With nine sections of varying complexity, not all materials were familiar. Rather than speeding through the exam, Husnun took time to understand each concept through documentation and community references. As he shared, “It wasn’t about finishing fast, it was about truly understanding how to apply each solution.”

● Real Impact at Work
The certification quickly proved its value when Husnun redesigned a SCADA interface that lacked structure and scalability. Applying Ignition’s best practices, such as template reuse, structured UDTs, and organized tag management, he transformed it into a cleaner, more scalable, and future-ready system. This demonstrated how certification doesn’t just add knowledge, it elevates real projects.
