Your automation can do more; it has much more potential to reduce costs, increase productivity and to generate more profit. But just think of easier operation, which saves time and reduces errors and training costs. Think of really efficient engineering, which consistently reuses an object once it has been designed. Think of engineers who can simply integrate all desired designs from graphics professional and only then concentrate on their actual task. Think of seamless integration of your own developments and the advantages of simulation for training and project integration. Think of zenon 6.50 - our new HMI SCADA software.
COPA-DATA calls MES applications into question with its certified interface to SAP(R) ERP.
Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) are used in many production facilities as the link between the process level and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software. What used to be an integral part of many industrial systems now becomes a questionably unnecessary cost factor; at least for those who are using SAP(R) applications and controlling their production with zenon. COPA-DATA has now created a direct connection: A certified bidirectional interface now connects SCADA with ERP. zenon and SAP work as a team to take over the tasks that used to be performed by MES or by manual data transfer.
