Proficy Open Enterprise

Proficy Open Enterprise provides bi-directional communication between the production layer and the enterprise layer—increasing visibility into your operations and providing the insight needed for better, faster business decisions. Key benefits include:

• Real-time visibility onto the plant floor from upper-level business systems
• Maintenance of up-to-date schedules on the plant floor
• Integration of disparate systems, avoiding data entry in multiple places
• Faster time to market
• Improved responsiveness to customer needs
• Reduced inventory costs

Bi-directional communications
As a single point of connectivity, Proficy Open Enterprise allows decision makers at the enterprise level to leverage real-time production information for better business decisions, and for plant operators to leverage business information to improve fulfillment and operational efficiency.

Real-time visibility
The business layer can receive information on the status of orders, and the production layer can manage schedules and modifications—allowing the enterprise to adjust its output on a real-time basis. Providing real-time visibility into the production process, Proficy Open Enterprise supports Production Schedule and Production Performance messages.

Seamless connectivity
Built on top of a service oriented architecture, Proficy Open Enterprise connects the enterprise layer to GE Intelligent Platforms’ Proficy software suite. Information can be stored within Proficy Workflow’s ISA-95 model and/or routed to other applications such as Proficy Plant Applications for fast, informed decision making.

Key features:
• Real-time synchronization between production and business systems
• Single point of integration for bi-directional communication with the Proficy suite of software solutions
• Standards based (B2MML and S95) for quicker deployments
• Out-of-the-box tools for quick time to value
• Flexible interface to ERP systems
