Saving energy is in, and for a good reason. It’s not just the environment that benefits, companies can also save large amounts of money that can be put to better use elsewhere. Efficient use of energy does not just mean turning off a few appliances here and there or reducing consumption at random; it all depends on acting at the right time in the right place. This is best done automatically using an energy management system, zenon EMS.
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.
