Business Process Integration

The goal of Business Process Integration (BPI) is to offer solutions for accessing production data trapped in the plant floor control systems. This data can be transformed into information, available to the business systems, to make companies more agile manufacturers. BPI encompasses:

  • Industrial Networks, SCADA, DCS and PLC systems were not designed with September 11, 2001 in mind. Cyber Security is quickly becoming a fundamental issue for industrial facilities. Universal is a leader in helping its customers with this new plant floor safety issue
  • Electronic data exchange between the plant floor controls and business computers
  • Production information and management systems including manufacturing execution and optimization systems (MES)
  • Batch and recipe management
  • Maintenance and quality systems
  • Data acquisition, mining, analysis and reporting
  • Web based supply chain management solutions
  • Remote interfaces to plant controls using web-browser technology and the internet

The gap between business and plant systems is complex technically, functionally and culturally so Business Process Integration is not limited to ERP integration. Companies have reams of historical and trended data that cannot be viewed or reported in a meaningful way. The first step is to select the important data, then analyze, interpret and report that data as information.
