Turn data into real information.

Accessing your plant floor data is not the challenge. The challenge is making sense out of the massive amounts of data at your disposal and driving informed business decisions as a result. Creating that context in or from disparate systems is virtually impossible.

GE Fanuc Production Management Software monitors the real-time events on your plant floor and provides you with the business context to translate the data into meaningful information – now or for any timeframe in the past. Our off-the-shelf, standards-based data model allows you to configure your product and recipe definitions, your product flows, and your critical production events in a way that fits your environment without any additional software or database programming. This functionality is vitally important to any strategy for harnessing the power of plant floor data and using it to drive results - as it normalizes all the different types of production and process data to give you a consistent representation of production across all plants and all environments.

Whether you’re working on one plant or a corporate roll out, it’s important to ensure that you can standardize:
  • The way you graphically represent/model the equipment, processes and workflows represented on you plant floor
  • The language you use to represent equipment, processes and workflows represented on you plant floor
  • The way you interface to or integrate with external systems, such as ERP, Scheduling, and Supply Chain systems

ISA 95 is the one standard that allows you to do exactly that, dramatically reducing the Total Cost of Ownership of the implementation and integration – and increasing the long-term sustainability of our Production Management solutions.
