Boston -- Declaring that it was making its most significant control system product announcement since the introduction of the I/A Series system in 1987, Invensys today unveiled InFusion, a technology the UK-based company claims is "the world's first enterprise control system." During a press conference here, Invensys executives and partners took the wraps off a next-generation process control system that is part architecture, part product, and part object library. "Today, we announce a new class of system that addresses many if not all of the issues in the marketplace," said Mike Caliel, president of Invensys Process Management. "I believe this is truly a groundbreaking announcement." Built on ArchestrA, the company's integration architecture, as well as on a number of existing Invensys products, InFusion ties tightly into the Microsoft operating environment through .Net and into SAP's enterprise offerings via that company's NetWeaver platform. Charles Johnson, Microsoft's worldwide manufacturing industry managing director, and Rick Bullotta, vice president of ASM Manufacturing at SAP, attended the press conference. [Click to continue] |
