Increasing competitive pressures have forced batch manufacturers to demand greater flexibility from production facilities. Production managers are being challenged to achieve seemingly incompatible objectives of increasing output and reducing the risk of regulatory noncompliance while implementing cost reduction initiatives.
These pressures are driving the evolution of interoperability between distributed control systems and enterprise planning and information systems.
Industrial IT System 800xA Production Management meets this challenge with the most advanced batch automation system available in the marketplace along with its ECS (Enterprise Connectivity Solutions) Production Planning Connector that closes the gap between ERP and shop floor process control.
