Visiprise teams with Tata for SAP "perfect plant" initiative
By Manufacturing Business Technology Staff -- Manufacturing Business Technology, 1/28/2008 1:00:00 PM
Visiprise and Tata Consultancy Services will work in collaboration with SAP AG to help manufacturing customers achieve the "perfect plant," including giving discrete manufacturers a manufacturing execution system (MES) to enable a tightly integrated technology ecosystem.
Visiprise will deliver the SAP Manufacturing Execution application by Visiprise, an MES solution that provides powerful route enforcement, traceability, and shop-floor execution capabilities. The solution is integrated with the SAP ERP application through the SAP Manufacturing Integration and Intelligence (SAP MII) application to provide manufacturers with better visibility into production operations.
TCS, through its Global Network Delivery Model, will deliver one stop domain expertise to integrate shop-floor information into enterprise systems.
The companies will formally launch their collaboration through the Perfect Plant center of excellence, designed as a virtual manufacturing scenario lab and operated by a global "virtual team" from TCS and SAP. The center of excellence was formed to help manufacturers achieve the perfect plant by combining global manufacturing coordination with local execution to improve end-to-end manufacturing operations and financial performance.
