Ignition & Perspective development in Merced, CA
Central Valley Ignition is based right here in Merced. I build Ignition systems for the operations that define the northern San Joaquin Valley — dairy, food and beverage processing, poultry and water — on-site across Merced County and remote across the US.
Right here in Merced County
Merced is home, so when a local plant needs someone on the floor for a startup, a walkdown or operator training, I'm a short drive away — in Merced, Atwater, Livingston, Los Banos and across the county. Merced County runs on production: some of the largest dairies in the country, almond and sweet-potato operations, poultry and food processing, and the irrigation and groundwater infrastructure that keeps it all moving. That's exactly the kind of work Ignition was built for.
Dairy, food & processing
Processing plants live and die by uptime and traceability. I stand up and clean up Ignition gateways, model tags and UDTs for repeated equipment (tanks, pasteurizers, packaging lines), and build the Perspective screens your operators and QA team actually use. Production summaries, lot traceability and compliance reports render to PDF or Excel and email on a schedule, straight from your historian — no more manual spreadsheets.
Water, irrigation & remote sites
From the Merced Irrigation District to the west-side operations around Los Banos and the San Luis Reservoir, water means distributed sites — wells, pumps, canals and SGMA groundwater reporting. Ignition handles remote sites cleanly, and Perspective makes the dashboards readable for staff who aren't parked in a control room. I connect distributed assets over secure links and surface the alarms and trends that matter.
On-site locally, remote anywhere
Being based in Merced means real on-site availability for Merced, Atwater, Los Banos, Livingston and the surrounding county. Everywhere else, Ignition's secure remote access covers the full lifecycle — design, build, deploy and support — so you get the same result whether your plant is down the road or out of state.
