Mingo Smart Factory is the easiest to use, fastest to implement smart factory tool you won’t outgrow that helps you manage the factory floor. To help you make a decision about the production monitoring system that is best for your plant, we have created this guide with direct comparisons between Mingo and Ignition.
Ignition is a tool kit that manufacturers can use to build their own production monitoring system. A dedicated IT department or outside consultants are required to get the system up and running. One of the main differences between Mingo Smart Factory and Ignition is that Mingo is an off-the-shelf solution that includes all of the hardware and software components in one box. Ignition is a complex solution that may not be the best first step for a manufacturer that is starting the optimization process.

Louisiana Fish Fry, a food manufacturer based in Louisiana switched from Vorne and Worximity to Mingo Smart Factory in 2022. They outgrew both systems and needed more flexibility on a platform that their operators actually wanted to use.
Mingo is different than the other software packages that we tried, in that you can start with something and then manipulate it as you learn, and as you grow with it. Don’t worry about getting something wrong initially. Get started and have confidence that you’ll be able to correct it as you get deeper into the implementation.

Manufacturing is hard – you want to optimize the flow of your factory floor so you are maximizing throughput without sacrificing quality or your overtime budget. Not having visibility for what is happening on the factory floor in real time means that you don’t have the option to make data-driven decisions. Everything is based on “gut feelings” and what has worked in the past.
At its core, Ignition is just a toolkit whereas Mingo is an all-in-one package.
With some work, Ignition customers can count products, calculate yield, understand cycle times, compare good versus bad products, and record downtime. An outside consultant or dedicated IT department will be required to integrate the Ignition toolkit for an individual factory’s needs.
There will still be manual reporting required to fill the gaps. Ignition doesn’t integrate with scheduling. It doesn’t collect process data. It doesn’t help with automated end-of-shift reporting or alerting. There isn’t a mobile app.
At its core, Ignition is designed to calculate and understand OEE. Mingo Smart Factory takes this one step further by offering a complete and robust manufacturing productivity system from data collection to dashboard.
Built by people who know manufacturing, Mingo Smart Factory provides the 21st century “Smart Factory” experience that manufacturers need to grow in a modern environment. See how it can help you drive revenue.
