ERP to MES—Still?
I’ve been in the automation business now for over 27 years,
and it seems that for the past 20 of them, we’ve been wrestling with the
concept of #MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems) to #ERP (Enterprise Resource
Planning). And it amazes me that we are
still having these conversations.
Why? I have my own ideas, and
since this is my blog, you get to find out what they are!

How Automation Systems are like Chopped (Food Network)
OK so this may be a stretch, but I was watching Food
Network’s Chopped television show the other night (a guilty pleasure) and I
noticed that it’s not about the actual cooking—it’s about time management,
strategy, creativity, and differentiation.
The premise of the show is that 4 contestants are given a
disparate basket of ingredients—for example, pork belly, guavas, rice wine
vinegar and pine nuts, and are challenged with making a cohesive, tasty dish
out of it. They compete against each
other for the title of Chopped Champion.

Why You Should Consider Mobility
Mobility—it means a lot of things these days. Getting information immediately on a smart
device. Having your system travel with
you, unbounded by physical walls of the plant.
Or, “untethering” your application from its PC-bound form.
Over the past few years, we’ve seen a growing
number of mobile applications being offered.
If you look on the iStores, there are hundreds of SCADA, HMI, and EMI/BI
offerings, from both large vendors (such as Invensys) as well as smaller, point-solutions
folks who develop applications strictly for the mobile phone or device. The great part though is that you now have
choices. Monday, July 30, 2012
