GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms recently rolled out its real-time manufacturing intelligence application, Proficy Real-Time Information Portal 3.0, a thin-client application that runs under the Microsoft IIS Web server and connects to plant floor technology, such as OPC, HMI/SCADA, quality systems, production management systems — such as manufacturing execution systems (MES) — as well as third-party databases.
The application provides self-service ad hoc reporting and presents data in its natural presentation form, letting users gain business insight from plant data in real time. This kind of visibility into plant floor operations enables real-time decision support and continuous process improvement, and enhances the return on current and future IT investments, the company said.
The Web-based approach protects existing application investments. It also features interactive analysis of real-time and historical data sources through trend charts, grids, and data links.
