Send to KindleSoftware integrates plant-floor information
Rockwell Automation’s addition to its FactoryTalk Integrated Production and Performance Suite--FactoryTalk VantagePoint software--integrates data from multiple plant-floor information systems for a cohesive look at plant-floor operations.
By
With the help of the company’s purchase of Incuity Software,
FactoryTalk VantagePoint allows end users to self-configure web-based
dashboards, trends and reports, and delivers automatic access to
valuable production information from both Rockwell Automation and
third-party systems. Through Microsoft Office, user interfaces and pre-defined connectors to
third-party systems, users can install and configure their systems in a
few hours with minimal technical support. Software provides cohesive
access to information on-demand including inventory, maintenance,
production and quality control. Integrating Incuity technology into
the FactoryTalk suite provides a flexible, extensible, data-modeling
framework that is designed to capture and maintain complex
relationships between a virtually unconstrained set of data sources. It
can provide contextualizing data from ERP, MES, LIMS and CMMS systems
along with time-series data from historians like OSIsoft’s PI and
AspenTech’s IP.21. FactoryTalk VantagePoint is offered in multiple
versions.
