Work with Connectors for System Platform

The System Platform is an industrial software platform for Supervisory HMI, SCADA, and Production and Performance Management. System Platform contains an integrated set of services and an extensible data model to manage plant control and information management systems. System Platform supports both the supervisory control layer and the manufacturing execution system (MES) layer, presenting them as a single information source. Modular applications sit on top of the System Platform. Wonderware and other third-party integrators are delivering a growing inventory of application components that use System Platform services.

The AVEVA Work Tasks Connector for System Platform provides the following features:

• Configurable read/write and wait-for-event workflow activities for Application Server integration

• Access to Enterprise Console from Information Server

• Extends standard objects in System Platform IDE with a workflow tab to configure workflow events

• Enable Historian events to invoke workflows

• ArchestrA graphic templates for task delivery and response

• View and respond to workflow tasks in InTouch for System Platform

AVEVA Work Tasks provides a real time, end-to-end institutionalization of processes across hierarchies in a manufacturing organization. Productivity, both on the plant floor and the top floor is a function of robust and complex processes. The ability to follow such processes, especially in the backdrop of disruptive events on the plant floor is critical. End-to-end process management and procedural data management across hierarchies has always been an area of concern. AVEVA Work Tasks addresses this concern by enabling comprehensive, end-to-end process institutionalization across a manufacturing enterprise.

Features of AVEVA Work Tasks:

• Workflow Capability: Collaboration and workflow can be implemented at all levels, within and across levels with AVEVA Work Tasks Workflow.

• Collaboration: Drive higher levels of people-centric and system-centric collaboration.

• Inter-operability: Drive higher levels of inter-operability beyond technical integration.

• Procedural Key Performance Indicators (KPI): Provide procedural KPIs for expanded operations.

• Procedural data management: Centralized management of processes for enterprises.

• Connectors: Availability of out-of-the-box productized connectors.

• Holistic business processes: Workflows should be able to span across levels. An event occurring at Level 1 (controls) requires interaction at Level 2 (supervisory) and spawns actions at Level 3 (advanced applications).

• BPM + Composite Applications: BPM helps organizations to improve business processes. Composite applications are built by combining multiple existing functions into a new application, thus addressing extensibility.

• Composite Workflow Execution Framework: Move beyond technical integration to provide framework to orchestrate manufacturing/infrastructure services and plant-level business processes across disparate domains (people, processes and systems).

• Embed workflow capability: Embed workflow capability into applications at all levels that translates real-time business events into actionable information.
