Creating an Enterprise-Wide MES Solution

Sales and Development Approach to MES & OEE

MES projects involve challenges quite different than standard SCADA systems. This is especially true with installations involving OEE. Understanding and adapting to these factors can help secure work, satisfy clients, and mitigate risks. Jason Coope and David Reed of Trimax Systems will share their experiences and best management practices for delivering MES solutions from first contact to final rollout.

Building Open & Scalable Multi-Site Enterprise Architectures

With the powerful features, products and protocols available in Ignition — like the Gateway Network, Ignition Edge, and MQTT — building open and scalable enterprise architectures is easier and more beneficial than ever before. Get best practices from an Ignition expert on how to build multi-site enterprise architectures that efficiently distribute the workload across multiple Ignition gateways.

From Enterprise Order to Factory Implementation in One Week

Large enterprise-wide rollouts can be daunting. There are implementation challenges that have to be overcome, along with internal stake-holders that need to be aligned. The implementation for a single plant can take months alone; so what do you do if you have dozens of plants, spread across a large geographical area? Saint-Gobain Abrasives faced this challenge when implementing Ignition, so they turned to the rapid-Ignition-implementation experts at Plantformance. In this session, you'll see how to employ IT best practices, state-of-the-art hardware, and Ignition to go from an enterprise order to a factory implementation in just one week. You'll learn from the first-hand experience of how Saint-Gobain is doing this now, and you'll get to see a live world-wide Ignition infrastructure maintenance operation demo.
