Plant Intelligence with SIMATIC WinCC and SIMATIC IT
Ongoing globalization and increased competition have led on the one
hand to an intense process of concentration; on the other hand, these
factors demand a consistent flow of information across all the levels
and sites of an organization.

More transparency for production
SIMATIC WinCC and SIMATIC IT provide the appropriate solution for this:
Scalable client/server systems for process visualization, options for IT & Business Integration and Plant Intelligence -
the basis of high levels of transparency and process optimization with a rapid return on investment.
Plant Intelligence is based on the intelligent
utilization of data to generate important information in real-time,
improving the decision processes implemented by the company. This
procedure lowers the plant costs, prevents scrap, better utilizes
the production facilities and ultimately assures a higher business
efficiency and effectiveness.
With the integration of Plant Intelligence applications from the
machine up to the enterprise level, SIMATIC is offering a
complete and scalable solution from one source. |

An advancement from an
inexpensive, scalable entry-level system on the basis of the process
visualization system SIMATIC WinCC all the way up to a comprehensive
optimization solution on the MES level with SIMATIC IT is now seamlessly
possible.
Plant Intelligence links the SCADA level with the
MES level and in doing so provides a greater transparency in the
production through an efficient acquisition, archiving, aggregation,
analysis and distribution of production data.

The linking and integration of SCADA and MES result in an enormous
advantage for the customer. The customer can initially - just like
before -expand his/her existing SIMATIC WinCC SCADA solution with Plant
Intelligence. Additional support is provided by innovated options
- such
as the WinCC/DataMonitor with published reports and a WebCenter for the
distribution of information - as well as completely new option packages
- such as the WinCC/DowntimeMonitor for the detection and analysis of
downtimes and the WinCC/ProcessMonitor as management information system
for the optimization of the production. The user can extend the plant
transparency with additional expansions on the MES or enterprise level.
SIMATIC IT is capable of correlating and analyzing parameters such as
key performance indicators across multiple plants; thus, production data
such as work orders, genealogy and batch data can also be analyzed.
Options for Plant Intelligence
The WinCC options for IT & Business Integration make available
additional
