Enterprise software application bolsters the core EMI pillar of production management software for plant-to-plant performance benchmarking and analysis.
Proficy DataMart from GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms is a new addition to the company’s Proficy suite of integrated production management software products. The system reaches deep within manufacturing operations across a business to provide a single, unifying view of operational performance. The powerful data cubing technology layers on top of the Proficy Plant Applications suite of software modules, takes the reporting and analysis capabilities of Proficy to new levels – in the plant and across the business.
“EMI is a strategic pillar and core capability in our Proficy Production Management Software portfolio,” said Sheila Kester, general manager of GE Fanuc’s Proficy Production Management Software. “Proficy DataMart is a great solution for companies that consider themselves to be ‘data-rich but information-poor’ and are struggling to keep up with the speed of business with complex reporting or analyses within and across their businesses.”
Sophisticated reporting tools
Proficy DataMart provides a platform for reducing the time, cost and complexity of developing sophisticated ad-hoc reports and analyses to complement the hundreds of existing reports, views and analysis tools within Proficy Plant Applications. The application supplies access to accurate product, process and production information to aid manufacturers’ strategic decision making and ultimate operational success. Its multiserver, multitime zone, multilanguage capabilities support operations around the clock by connecting to multiple Proficy sites locally, regionally and around the world.
The realtime analysis cube technology puts information in a form users can understand by leveraging their own naming conventions, metrics and calculations. By removing the need to understand the production database schemas, it enhances the ad-hoc reporting and analysis capabilities of Proficy Plant Applications while exposing everything to Proficy Portal, Microsoft Excel and Microsoft SQL Reporting Services for extended visualisation and reporting. Also, since Proficy DataMart is based on open OLAP standards, it leverages a user’s existing Business Intelligence and Enterprise Performance Management infrastructure and supports their Data Warehouse strategies.
“GE Fanuc continues its commitment to helping our customers run their plants and their businesses better,” concluded Kester. “With our release of Proficy DataMart added to the recent release of Proficy Plant Applications, we are providing powerful intelligence to give our customers a sustainable advantage in the market.”
