The National Industrial Information Infrastructure Protocols (NIIIP) Consortium is developing a Solution for MES-Adaptable Replicable Technology (SMART) to enable integration and interoperability amongst Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) as well as the full range of Enterprise Information Systems (EIS) within a single enterprise or amongst multiple enterprises.

NIIIP SMART enables both horizontal (amongst MES solutions) and vertical (up to MRP/PDM or down to plant floor) integration/interoperation. NIIIP SMART will provide for the integration/interoperation of legacy MES




applications as well as provide the base for the development of future MES applications in a plug and play environment.

NIIIP SMART will reduce manufacturing cycle time by integrating upstream (EIS) with critical MES applications tracking manufacturing details such as availability of tools, labor, materials, maintenance schedules, performance, quality, and status of work in progress. It has, as a technology baseline, the pioneering work of the NIIIP Consortium to enable Virtual Enterprises.

NIIIP SMART is built upon a mediated architecture guided by a Rules in Knowledge Based Management System (KBMS) and utilizing intelligent agents to achieve MES integration and interoperation. The KBMS, mediators, and agents grow over time to reflect the accumulated operational experience of end-users. The integration and interoperation capabilities of NIIIP SMART in turn grow over time and are replicable and transportable to additional end user environments.

NIIIP SMART enables an enterprise to exist as a constantly changing dynamic reaction to changing business and market opportunities and utilizes emerging, existing and defacto industry standards such as OMG, STEP, Workflow, and INTERNET as fundamental building blocks.

Windows NT/Windows 2000

USDATA Corporation’s Xfactory is a complete

production tracking solution. It provides a rich set of functionality including data acquisition from plant floor systems, data logging, trending, alarming, visualization and control, work-in process (WIP) tracking and reporting. Large and small manufacturers alike can gain tremendous value from Xfactory’s out-of-the-box, real-time production tracking capabilities. Xfactory’s unique and comprehensive set of tracking functionality provide a number of distinct end-user benefits such as:

#" Increased production efficiency #" Ability to spot and improve production through

bottlenecks #" Unit and component traceability #" Decreased production cycles and scrap #" Capability to monitor and improve workflow #" Decreased standing inventory #" Improved quality #" Reduced rework

In many companies, production systems appear as

a black hole to enterprise and supply chain systems. Enterprise and production systems are at best loosely coupled, and in many cases the interfaces are only paper-based. The result is that enterprise systems have no real-time access to production information but can be dramatically increased by providing tight integration into production systems. USDATA provides Connector, an add-on for Xfactory, as the solution for connectivity between production and enterprise systems. An out-of-the-box solution based on Compaq Business Bus, Connector ensures that enterprise systems have access to the real-time information for optimal performance.

USDATA’s Xfactory ensures that decision-makers have access to the information that they require in a timely fashion. Xfactory allows you to graphically locate or monitor a production order’s progress from start to finish. Managers can see every aspect of real-time production, from high-level views of production rates and inventory levels, to low-level detail such as current operator activity data specific station.

Critical information provided by Xfactory allows production optimization including:

#" Amount of work-in process #" WIP location #" Queue sizes and times #" WIP transfer details #" Process performance information #" Inventory levels #" Inventory consumption and production rates #" Resource availability and equipment usage #" Scrap rates #" Yield for specific production lines, operations,

workers and products

Downtime in your production tracking system, whether planned or unplanned, can be very costly.




With Xfactory, manufacturers can eliminate downtime while continuously fine-tuning their production for maximum performance. Xfactory’s online configuration enables plant process engineers to maintain and enhance their own production processes centrally using a drag-and-drop Windows-style explorer. Process changes can be made at any time, without coding, even during production.

Businesses today need to look at all of their systems as integrated, efficient "engines" that maximize their capacity in light of changing customer and market needs while reducing their capital expenses.

eCommerce – As manufacturing and business systems boundaries have blurred, so has the boundary between a company’s customers and their suppliers. Optimum business performance, ability to meet changing market demands, and the need to retain customers are critical factors to survival and growth. Verid works with various eCommerce products and technologies to supply customers with the right solution for their needs.

Business and Enterprise Information – Information drives today’s business. It is crucial for business and manufacturing managers and executives to see the factors that contribute to the performance of the company. Verid provides information systems that capture the critical business and manufacturing data, providing users the ability to create personalized views of the driving factors in their company’s performance. This allows engineers, supervisors, managers, and

executives to drive their business optimization efforts based on accumulated real-time information. Verid also provides collaborative environments to its clients for customer management, project execution, and team-based development.

VIA Information Tools, Inc. is a proven solutions

provider for manufacturing execution systems. Since 1987, VIA has emerged as the acknowledged leader in development, installation and support of shop-floor execution systems for the automotive industry. VIA’s product offering includes Man-IT™, the only automotive manufacturing shop-floor software product providing automated data collection, manufacturing genealogy, production validation and demand synchronization. Man-IT™ answers the automotive industry’s plea for compliance with government traceability regulations and warranty cost reductions.

Man-IT™ is designed to provide this functionality in a consistent, flexible, locally configurable manner. Enterprise level systems cover manufacturing applications and related data only up to (and not including) the manufacturing process itself. Exposure to WIP inventory, raw material lot numbers, individual operation production information, and control of the process at an operational level is not available in enterprise level systems. These business requirements have been met mostly by in house development, which focused on specific situations and was therefore inflexible. The Man-IT™ system differs by making this inventory, lot, and production information available immediately, providing feedback to production controls at an operational level.

Integrated Network Information Tool (In-IT™) is a full service solution including consulting, database



applications, and around the clock support. VIA enhances your service provision by automating redundant TCP/IP administration tasks such as determining the next available IP Address on a subnet, modifying DNS db files when addresses or domain names change, and issuing SNMP commands to network infrastructure. VIA also allows you to focus on your customers while we manage your toolset. Our technicians provide hardware, O/S, and application support.

The company’s supply chain execution (SCE) solution suite is a best-of-breed solution designed to work seamlessly with enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems and other appropriate business applications. The suite provides both product- and process-centric manufacturing control, including critical manufacturing execution system (MES), line monitoring and control, quality, and repair loop functionality in a single integrated solution.
