Products

FactoryTalk / RSView32: Real-time exchange of information between manufacturing and the rest of your company is critical for making business decisions that improve responsiveness, increase productivity, reduce costs and assure regulatory compliance. With the FactoryTalk® integrated suite of highly scalable, modular software applications, you can integrate your factory floor.

FactoryTalk Historian: Do you need to maximize your ability to collect time-series data? Do you need to have access to historical information at any time across different levels and tiers of your enterprise? Streamline your manufacturing applications with FactoryTalk® Historian. FactoryTalk Historian has been designed around a multiple user scenario. Plant Supervisors can view individual machines and complete lines, in real-time, to build comparisons and assess how batches are running at their site; meanwhile, Enterprise Managers can look at Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and compare the production activity from different sites. Having more than one entry point to your data helps you make more accurate and quicker decisions.

FactoryTalk Historian can connect to any control system or human-machine-interface (HMI) software and collect data at high speeds, in real-time, and at full resolution. FactoryTalk Historian Site Edition is a central component in the distributed historian strategy from Rockwell Software. This solution optimizes manufacturing processes through the analysis of historical data. FactoryTalk Historian provides the capability to collect, store, analyze, and visualize data using a powerful engine and a set of reporting tools such as time-series trends, bar charts, pie charts, pareto and tabular trends, and an easy method of generating reports using Microsoft Excel. It also uses compressed storage data algorithms to contain a vast amount of data in a small format, and you can retrieve the data quickly over a short or long time span.

FactoryTalk® Transaction Manager is a valuable tool designed to help you better manage your manufacturing processes by integrating the critical data in your shop floor control systems with enterprise IT and other manufacturing applications. FactoryTalk Transaction Manager provides you with the ideal platform on which to integrate and build the solutions you need to run your enterprise.

To understand the power of FactoryTalk Transaction Manager, it helps to see the power of an industrial transaction. In the enterprise world, transactions are used every day to tightly link multiple systems so that they act as one. An industrial transaction does the same thing, except that, instead of linking multiple database systems, it links control systems to database systems. A true, end-to-end link is established that provides the level of reliability required to support enterprise-wide integration.

Whether your solution requires a simple data-logging scenario or a bi-directional system in which your plant floor is controlled by the rules and/or the data in your enterprise databases, the flexibility of the FactoryTalk Transaction Manager architecture can meet your needs.

• FactoryTalk Transaction Manager is used in a variety of data-logging situations where production data from the control system needs to be saved in a database.
• Traditional historian products are primarily designed for historical data logging and have an extensive user interface for viewing, analyzing, and reporting
• FactoryTalk Transaction Manager is more than a data-logging tool. It allows you to:
• Provide two-way exchange of data between applications, a database, and the control system for downloading recipes, production schedules, or other information into the control system.
• Support reading from and writing control system data into commercial databases, e.g., Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle.
• Manage, track and log data exchanges or "transactions."
• Use it for custom MES-like applications.
