Solution Platform

EmsPT  MES solutions are built on a strategic software platform for Operational and Performance Management. The platform is the backbone for all software initiatives, providing a unified environment for visualisation, plant history, device communications and automation application integration. The platform has an integral set of core capabilities in one common architecture to leverage legacy systems as well as new architecture integration providing operational and engineering productivity and scalability.

The Solution platform :

• Provides a flexible and modular approach to enabling and continually evolving Manufacturing Execution System solutions.
• Improves accuracy and consistency of data through one single source of information
• Drives standards
• Reuses engineering work
• Integrates disparate systems
• Remotely manages application changes

With real-time data acquisition, alarm and event management, data manipulation services and collaborative engineering capabilities, it is an infrastructure for simplifying the development, deployment, maintenance and administration of distributed automation applications.

It includes : 

• An open and extensible HMI package, which includes object oriented development and centralised deployment capabillity
• A real-time high-speed Historian with analysis tools, which provides a common point of access for all production data.  Incorporating Microsoft’s SQLServer technology it seamlessly integrates data from other plant and business systems, providing a single interface between systems.
• Web-based reporting and visualisation capabilities which provide access to all industrial information content such as process graphics, trends and reports; and includes analysis tools to enable information to be understood in context
• Integrated Development Environment (IDE) providing a central, unified environment for development
• Object oriented approach, bringing the benefits of inheritance and encapsulation;
• Centralised definition of system security, using either native security or OS-based security, including integration to Active Directory
• A suite of modules which can be used to extend the software implementation in a modular, low risk fashion
• Centralised development and deployment capabilities

By capitalising on these features and utilising the host of MES modules available to extend the platform, EmsPT deliver flexible and scaleable solutions with the minimum of bespoke development.  The platform we use, and the functionality and features that it provides enables us to concentrate on understanding and meeting our customers’ requirements in a modular, controlled and repeatable fashion in order to deliver Manufacturing Operational Excellence in all our solutions.
