The reference Ignition partner in France
French Ignition Integrator: Premier expertise for your SCADA projects
OperaMetrix is your certified Premier French Ignition integrator, the highest partnership level awarded by Inductive Automation. Based in Toulouse and Lyon, we design, deploy and maintain your industrial supervision solutions (SCADA, MES, IIoT) in compliance with French and European regulations (NIS2, BACS, IEC 62443).
Why work with a French Ignition integrator?
Ignition SCADA, developed by Inductive Automation, is the industrial supervision platform transforming French factories. With its unlimited licensing model, native web architecture and cross-platform compatibility, Ignition is the reference choice for French manufacturers looking to modernize their SCADA, MES and IIoT systems. But to get the most from this platform, you need a French Ignition integrator who understands your local challenges.
As a certified Premier Ignition integrator in France, OperaMetrix has been supporting French industrial companies in their digital transformation for several years. Our France-based team, with offices in Toulouse and Lyon, understands the specifics of French industry: NIS2 regulations, BACS compliance, industrial cybersecurity requirements set by ANSSI and data sovereignty constraints. This deep knowledge of the French regulatory landscape enables us to design compliant architectures from day one.
Choosing a French Ignition integrator like OperaMetrix means benefiting from geographical proximity, understanding of local challenges and responsive support in French. Unlike a foreign provider, we can quickly intervene on your industrial sites, speak your language and understand the specific constraints of each French region. Our Premier certification guarantees the highest level of technical expertise recognized by Inductive Automation worldwide.
The Ignition SCADA platform in France is experiencing rapid growth across all industrial sectors: water treatment, energy, manufacturing, smart building and food processing. French companies choose Ignition for its reduced total cost of ownership, flexibility and ability to unify SCADA, MES and IIoT on a single platform. OperaMetrix, as the reference French Ignition integrator, supports you through every step of this transition.
What is a Premier Ignition Integrator?
The Premier Integrator designation is the highest certification level awarded by Inductive Automation, the publisher of the Ignition SCADA platform. This certification recognizes companies that have demonstrated exceptional proficiency with the platform through successful project delivery, certified team members and a proven track record over several years. Only a handful of integrators worldwide hold this status, and OperaMetrix is proud to be among them as a Premier French Ignition integrator.
As one of the few Premier Ignition Integrators in France and Europe, OperaMetrix provides direct access to Inductive Automation resources, early access to new platform features and the deepest expertise available. This privileged relationship with the vendor means we can resolve technical issues faster, benefit from priority support and guarantee an implementation that follows the best practices recommended by Inductive Automation.

Why Ignition SCADA meets the requirements of French industry
The Ignition platform is perfectly suited to the regulatory and industrial specificities of the French market
NIS2, BACS and IEC 62443 Compliance
Ignition facilitates compliance with French and European regulations. The NIS2 directive imposes new cybersecurity requirements on essential service operators. The BACS decree regulates building automation and control systems. The IEC 62443 standard defines best practices for industrial cybersecurity. OperaMetrix, your French Ignition integrator, designs architectures that are natively compliant with all three regulatory frameworks.
Digital Transformation and Industry 4.0
France is accelerating its transition to Industry 4.0. Ignition offers a complete platform for this transformation: SCADA for supervision, MES for production tracking, IIoT for sensor connectivity, Edge Computing for remote sites and real-time data analysis. As an Ignition integrator in France, OperaMetrix supports you through this modernization with a progressive, pragmatic approach.
Industrial Data Sovereignty
French companies are increasingly vigilant about where their industrial data is stored. Ignition can be deployed on-premise on your own servers or on a French sovereign cloud. Your production data, industrial recipes and historical records stay in France, in compliance with digital sovereignty requirements and ANSSI recommendations.
Competitiveness and Return on Investment
Ignition's unlimited licensing model is a major competitive advantage for French manufacturers. No per-tag cost, no per-client cost, no per-screen cost. You pay a single server license and can deploy as many client stations as needed. For a French factory with dozens of supervision screens, savings compared to traditional SCADA can reach 60 to 80% over 5 years.

Ignition SCADA in France: a rapidly expanding market
The Ignition platform is experiencing growing adoption in French industry, driven by its unique technological and economic advantages
The industrial supervision market in France is undergoing a major transformation. Legacy SCADA solutions such as Panorama (Codra), TopKapi (AREAL) or international platforms (Siemens WinCC, Schneider Electric Wonderware/AVEVA) face growing limitations: costly and restrictive licensing models, aging architectures based on thick clients, lack of native IIoT connectivity and complex multi-site deployments. Ignition SCADA by Inductive Automation provides a modern, competitive answer to each of these challenges.
In France, Ignition SCADA adoption is accelerated by several converging factors. The European NIS2 directive, transposed into French law, imposes new cybersecurity obligations on vital operators and essential entities. The BACS decree requires commercial buildings to install compliant automation and control systems. The France 2030 and Industry of the Future programs encourage the modernization of production tools. Ignition, with its secure architecture and native compliance with IEC 62443 standards, perfectly addresses these new requirements.
OperaMetrix, a certified Premier French Ignition integrator, is ideally positioned to support this transition. Our offices in Toulouse and Lyon enable us to cover the entire French territory and intervene rapidly on your industrial sites. Our team of certified engineers combines deep technical expertise of the Ignition platform with thorough knowledge of the French industrial and regulatory landscape.
