Securing Manufacturing Business Continuity
The integration of Manufacturing Execution Systems with Enterprise Resource Planning systems or other business applications has become mission critical for manufacturing plant operations. It enables agile, short-term production planning and flexible update schedules. It also improves supply chain visibility and decision support by updating business applications with production responses in real time.
AVEVA Enterprise Integration enables message exchange and automatic data synchronization between two or more business or plant applications. Designed to provide plant/business continuity in the case of enterprise application or wide area network (WAN) unavailability, AVEVA Enterprise Integration uses automatic message store and forward capabilities to enable business and manufacturing systems to work in a complementary fashion that is loosely coupled yet extremely reliable.
Integration capabilities include XML messages, flat files, and database queries which go beyond AVEVA applications and allow for integration of multiple plant applications with ERP or other business and enterprise systems in a single solution.
Extensibility by custom code plug-ins is available to add specific AVEVA Enterprise Integration connectivity to any software system or standardize multiple instances in multi-site integration scenarios.
