"We help you as a customer determine the best architecture that fits your manufacturing framework in this 21st Century manufacturing model"
-Charlie Gifford, GE Fanuc Automation
Effective management of operations demands accurate real-time capability information to all aspects of the extended enterprise. The business must act as one cohesive system that operates on one version of the truth. Manufacturing operations workflow standards provide this single schema version such as ISA 88/95, OAG, SCOR and OPC-UA. Without support of integration and interoperability standards, manufacturers will not be able to establish flexible production capabilities and will struggle to remain competitive on the global stage.
Managing Automation and GE Fanuc, a leading production management, automation, embedded and CNC technology supplier, are proud to present Extended Enterprise Integration and the Evolving Role of ISA-95, which will address the importance of extended enterprise integration and the role of standards. GE Fanuc leads and contributes to the development of key industry interoperability standards such as ISA-95, SCOR, OPC-UA and OAG.
We will discuss the results of our fourth reader poll exploring factory floor to enterprise systems integration, including the extent of the effort now present in companies, preferred integration methods and management's goals for the work. You'll also hear from GE Fanuc's Charlie Gifford, who serves as the Chairman of the ISA-95 Best Practices Working Group. Charlie will discuss the current and evolving role of standards, how manufacturing companies can best approach their adoption, and best practices in their implementation and use.
Register today to learn about:
- The extent of which manufacturers are attempting to integrate operations systems throughout their distributed supply chains
- Companies' business and technology goals in the integration activity
- Preferred methods that manufacturers use to accomplish the integration, such as application programming interfaces, message-based services, business process/logic
- Key technical hurdles
- The role of standards such as ISA-95 in enterprise integration
- How standard, off the shelf products based on enterprise integration implementations are being used today
