Wonderware ArchestrA technology offers
benefits in both development and runtime environments over and above other Industrial
Service Oriented Architecture (ISOA) technologies.
1. Standardization
First, is the ability to create standards in
both application functions and in run-time displays or work processes. This
allows for the re-use of engineering across the plant and the enterprise,
saving significant application development cost on future customer projects.
Standardization also means that employees can be trained to operate other parts
of the plant or other plants in the enterprise
with little effort because the system behaves the same wherever the standard is
used. This cuts training costs and staffing requirements.
2. Savings
in integration
The second area of savings is in integration.
Leveraging the broad set of device drivers and communications servers from
Wonderware, coupled with the standard connectors of .NET and other industry
standards like OPC (OLE for Process Controls), the technology allows any system,
device, database or software application to participate.
3. Flexibility
The third area of savings is in flexibility
and easier change propagation. Changes can be made centrally and then easily
propagated across a broad network of operating computers. This is extremely
valuable during Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT testing) and whenever the
system must be scaled up or down to take advantage of new business
opportunities.
With the development of ArchestrA technologyas the world’s first and proven ISOA, industrial computing has finally evolved
to the point at which technology constraints no longer limit performance-based applications.
The proven track record of ArchestrA ISOA (Industrial Service Oriented
Architecture) technology enables a new movement toward improved bottom line
value for industrial operations.
ArchestrA is a comprehensive automation and
information software open architecture designed to integrate and extend the
life of legacy systems by leveraging the latest, open industry standards and
software technologies. ArchestrA ‘industrializes’ Microsoft .NET and other
Microsoft technologies in order to provide an even more productive toolset for
building critical operations management software solutions for manufacturing,
production and facilities operations. The result exposes services needed by
manufacturing and industrial infrastructure such as common name space, object
management, industrial security, high availability and redundancy, plant
connection, enterprise connection, client interface, web portal and systems
management.
