Ask the Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) Expert: Scheduling Assistance

Asked on Nov 28 2007 3:43:02:000PM | Q | Hi, I am involved in project to implement an architecture for designing and installing a network and this network will bridge the business network (ERP, LIMS, CAPA, etc) with the manufacturing network(s). This middle network will allow the manufacturing network to be isolated from the business network, using firewalls, so that in case of worm or similar security issues; the manufacturing network can continue operating. The middle network would have historian servers to capture manufacturing data which would ultimately be available for plant manager to view manufacturing data in near real-time.
My question is who might provide training? The training would ideally include validation concerns (pharma environment).
Thank You.

| A | It is not possible here to recommend any one supplier, but the "middle-level" network architecture for historian, asset management, etc. is very common among the suppliers of Distributed Control Systems commonly used for process control in all process industries. Several of these suppliers have pharma experience and can relate to your need for validation. |
