| Invensys introduces new enterprise control system Invensys introduced the industrial system that goes beyond the plant or other industrial operations to provide a true enterprise view. The new InFusion enterprise control system combines capabilities from Invensys with advanced enterprise information and integration technologies from both Microsoft and SAP to reduce integration costs. With InFusion technology, most existing plant floor and enterprise systems can now be cost-effectively integrated into a common system. In conjunction with a suite of new performance services, Invensys' InFusion system will help industrial enterprises more effectively align plant operations and maintenance departments with the business to optimize overall asset performance management. InFusion reduces the cost and effort required to integrate intelligent plant floor devices and systems via standards such as OPC and an unmatched portfolio of device drivers. Process control, MES, and even ERP applications can be brought together into a common data model and a common HMI to deliver timely, in-context information to all plant personnel. The InFusion Collaboration Wall can also be used to provide plant operators, maintenance technicians, engineers, and managers with a shared view of process control, maintenance, performance, and business application displays to encourage and facilitate creative collaboration. InFusion uses key technologies and standards such as Microsoft .NET and BizTalk Server 2004, SAP NetWeaver and xMII, ISA S95, MIMOSA, and OPC. InFusion also represents the first major implementation of Open O&M, the industry-standard convergence of OPC, ISA S95, and MIMOSA. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
