Manufacturers competing in today’s “Flat
World” need to access and exchange huge amounts of
complex and disparate data.
The sheer volume of widely disparate information
is taxing the ability of many existing data management platforms
with this increasing level of complexity, resulting in
decreased performance and significantly increased support and
maintenance of Manufacturers’ plant automation infrastructure.
In this knowledge brief, learn how Automation Vendors and ISVs
are delivering solutions that will protect long-term investments
and adapt to ever-changing demands, while maintaining superior
performance and reliability.
Who should review this document:
Innovators working for Automation Vendors who are tasked
with product management, technology exploration, and the building
and implementing of software products that will capitalize
on the digital factory
End users of Automation Vendor products who are interested
in and responsible for increasing the amount of actionable
information across the enterprise
You will learn:
What Automation Vendors should be focused on to enable
the plant of the future
How to build frameworks that provide a single version
of the truth (data) across multiple applications and multiple
locations
How to directly exchange and share data from very granular
levels “on the shop floor” to business systems—vertical
interoperability
How to capitalize on the digital factory concept by
facilitating the movement of knowledge throughout the enterprise
What People Are Saying:
"We believe that the
O3 System is a triumph in implementing object oriented
technology in a business critical application. Objectivity/DB
has enabled the O3 system to increase our productivity
and accelerate time-to-market, giving NEC a significant
competitive advantage and increased market share."

General Manager, Group Information Systems Center
NEC Semiconductor
"Objectivity's distribution,
reliability and performance provide our customers with
the ability to visualize an entire plant as a hierarchical
map. This enables easy navigation to the desired process
area and bottom level function blocks and parameters. We've
had huge success with metsoDNA among our customers."
Jaakko Oksanen
Product Manager, metsoDNA
Metso Automation
"We designed the breakthrough
DeltaV system from the ground up using Objectivity/DB to
organize a wealth of information and make engineering,
operating and maintaining a process plant more intuitive
and easier than has never before been possible. Because
of the reliability of Objectivity/DB, we have been able
to achieve 1,586 product operating years without a single
database failure."
