| Keywords: | Key words: Invensys, Wonderware, HMI, SCADA, MES, MI, human machine interface, manufacturing execution system, manufacturing intelligence | Invensys's Wonderware division today disclosed a new architectural framework that bundles its HMI, SCADA, MES, and manufacturing intelligence applications in a unified environment that company officials said will make it easier for customers to license and consistently deploy the software across dispersed plant operations. Called the Wonderware System Platform, the architecture represents much more than a re-packaging of separate products into one bundle. Instead, the new offering, which is built on the company's ArchestrA integration framework, is a flexible production management system that allows a customer to pick and choose desired functions without incurring extra licensing costs. System Platform ties together the company's Industrial Application Server, Industrial SQL Server historian, SuiteVoyager information server, and device integration components. On top of that, modules for equipment operations, equipment performance, manufacturing execution, and manufacturing intelligence can be added as needed, the company said. [Click to continue]  |
