Automation software needs tight integration - Since the values in process control and factory automation are changing very quickly, operator update must be fast

摘要

Different applications and different software technologies are required at different levels of the information architecture. The software requirements in the control room differ from the software requirements at the corporate level. Using the appropriate software technologies, the automation system can link into the corporate IT-infrastructure. This permits execution and business applications to electronically access plant data and collaborate, eliminating the need for the slow, tedious, and error-prone process of collecting and re-entering data manually.
