Matrikon Production Management: Technology
Intelligent Plant Data Model: Data + Context = Knowledge
The key component that sets Matrikon Production Management products apart as the
most comprehensive and advanced integrated production management suite on the
market is the Intelligent Plant Data Model. All your isolated plant assets are
resolved into objects with data attributes which are then 'mapped' to one another
to provide context to your business.
The unique technology behind the Intelligent Plant Data Model is supported by four technology enablers:
1) Integration - Communication Flow: Listener Messaging Technology
Reduces the number, complexity and cost of interfaces
Translates messages so each system understands the data
Buffers messages to accommodate network or system interruptions
Easily installs on existing systems
Provides a messaging interface for any system
Responds to incoming messages or raises their own events
2) Presentation - Information Collaboration, Visibility and Action: Portal Technology
Provides secure access to web-enabled applications
Affords easy, configurable navigation
Gives users access to data without needing to know where it resides
Offers full transactional (data-entry) support
Provides customized reports and calculations
3) Information - Context not Content: Data Broker Technology
Maps production data so data is not stored, it’s accessed from the source
Creates application and asset "objects" that simplify additions or changes to
the Plant Model
Enables complicated calculations based on real-time, real-source data
4) Orchestration - Synchronizing Business Decisions: BPEL Technology
Uses the open-standard Business Process Execution Language (BPEL)
Enables workflow processes to span the entire business
