Software update address OEE
December 2007
SCADA/HMI
Wonderware has released version 2.0 of its Equipment Performance Module (EPM) software, a significant update to its software solution for customers needing to track, analyse and improve equipment, line or plant downtime and overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). EPM 2.0 is built on the recently acquired Factelligence technology from Invensys' Cimnet acquisition.
This software module combines Invensys' ArchestrA industrial service-oriented architecture technology with the latest InTouch 10.0 HMI and System Platform 3.0 software. This combination of product offerings enables significantly enhanced capabilities including the ability to correlate equipment performance metrics, such as downtime or OEE, with broader MES functions including formula management, process history, product traceability and genealogy, and statistical process control.
In conjunction with Microsoft.NET technology, EPM 2.0 offers vivid graphical visualisation of equipment performance. The integration with Wonderware System Platform 3.0 combines a flexible plant application model with the Factelligence production model. In addition, the software offers access to personalised information for the entire spectrum of manufacturing and business users. Expanded capabilities for localisation and internationalisation are included, bringing equipment performance software solutions to more customers and enabling them to more easily deploy consistent best practices for global manufacturing strategies.
"Within a few short months, Wonderware has been able to integrate Factelligence technology from the recent Cimnet acquisition, proven ArchestrA technology and the newest generation of InTouch 10.0 HMI visualisation software to create a superior performance management solution for our customers," says Justin Tweedie, MD of Wonderware Southern Africa. "With the addition of Factelligence technology capabilities and our combined installed base, Wonderware has taken another important step in becoming the clear market leader for packaged MES software solutions."
Complete software solution bundles, which include EPM 2.0, System Platform 3.0 and InTouch 10.0 HMI are available. Existing Factelligence, DT Analyst and EPM 1.0 customers will continue to be supported on their current software releases and will be able to expand their solutions with future versions of both Factelligence and the Equipment Performance Module.
