That goes beyond the traditional office and IT systems to use Ethernet-based and regional manufacturing Because, IP's best efforts, the nature of packet-based, deterministic made improper use of real-time production had a blocker in the Ethernet-based control

That's changed today Advent of switched networks, and Gigabit speed and options for the section to reduce congestion on the major networks to bypass the delays and the old objections 'Where Suroganisanetto of' as it is true so far

The emergence of the industrial Ethernet is being drawn about how some network cost savings at the factory is not Also, rather than together, bring your plant network with its own network of isolated cells or more - and perhaps more importantly in the long term is possible, directly, ERP and other back-office systems connected to open the door to the production

Kevinrochi So Rokkuuerusofutouea vice president of manufacturing experts argue He is, IT manufacturing costs for the world's number two was that the largest percentage of AMR Research quotes after the ERP's statistics from the year 2006 and number one is to be expected this year However, as long as he is connected to these two major areas have to realize the full benefits and one of the company

Connection factory

" You can not have a factory as a black box was broken," he says "I have ability, need to make sure what's going on, please refer to the organization of major manufacturers not fewer and fewer If not, will not report them for regulatory compliance, and Rikorubakkutoresu is impossible"

In that case, information is collected in real time, is that the feedback must have visibility into business processes More importantly, be able to receive the information necessary to act on business systems

"Today is a very fragmented - lots of information, the diary will be collected and tracked manually entered into Excel - the error, and is liable to costly, not timely," Roach says "The disconnect between the goals and how big it is, the need for a system to do real-time data collection is like on the dashboard"

This Rockwell Software FactoryTalk background behind, he adds - as well as control of the plant, it will connect to business systems

"We do not talk about software, our business processes and issues," he said she said "For example, perhaps because of the organization much stock do not appear in the paper process Can not fix what can not be seen"

He adds: "The business class, as detailed monitoring - to monitor only the best practical example is nothing to change the instruction schedule"

If you are up and, after all the latest information about your production process, the system is better than going to charge them here?

"Highly reproducible data, the production system is an example of capacity planning and predictive maintenance Rochinoto said," I Factory as a black box, "ERP deals in the line speed, coating, volume, or do not even know Because, SAP is that we do not know how much of the production run, the FactoryTalk not - and I know that scrap rates positive The scrap rate for subsequent analysis of data related cases include FactoryTalk Metrics"

With us, or their company?

This convergence is also one of two groups, historically, that is, IT had to split the need to work together more closely and production technology - or perhaps merging means Cabinet approved the approach as it is in the face of vested interests can be tough
