What makes Chordata different?

Ignition-Native, Fully Extensible

  • Built 100% on Ignition, the industry’s most flexible and scalable industrial software platform.
  • No black-box logic—everything from batch configuration to visualization is open and customizable.
  • Seamlessly integrates with Ignition’s historian, reporting, alarming, and MES modules for a unified architecture.

Optimized For Rockwell PLCs

  • Native integration with ControlLogix and CompactLogix systems via Ignition’s built-in drivers.
  • Aligns perfectly with ISA-88 standards while remaining adaptable to site-specific PLC logic.
  • Enables faster commissioning, easier diagnostics, and long-term maintainability without custom middleware.

Modular, Scalable, and Lightweight

  • Unlike heavyweight enterprise platforms, Chordata is modular—start small and scale as needed.
  • Deploy in a single cell or across multiple lines, with no expensive per-unit licensing or infrastructure overhead.
  • Ideal for both greenfield and brownfield deployments.

Rapid Time-to-Value

  • Pre-built templates, reusable logic blocks, and best-practice libraries accelerate implementation.
  • Typical deployments go live in weeks, not months—unlocking ROI faster and minimizing disruption.
  • Polaris Automation brings deep implementation experience, shortening learning curves and ensuring adoption.

Designed for Modern Manufacturing

  • Full visibility into batch performance and execution from any device via Ignition’s web-based platform.
  • Tight integration with data systems to enable KPI tracking, digital records, and future AI/ML insights.
  • Supports real-time OEE tracking, recipe management, audit trails, and digital approvals.

Chordata is ideal if...

  • You want a leaner, more maintainable alternative.
    Not an overbuilt, hard-to-configure legacy systems.
  • You want a platform, not a silo.
    To integrate batch or MES execution with broader digital initiatives.
  • You want transparency and ownership, not vendor lock-in.
    For control over every layer of your stack.
  • You want seamless connectivity and minimal rework.
    Especially if you’re a Rockwell house with PLC standards already in place.
