The impact of SOA on the plant operations software space

The advent of services-oriented architecture (SOA) is leading to fundamental changes in plant operations software. Point solutions, and even loosely bundled manufacturing execution system (MES) suites, are being replaced by application modules based on a common industrial services platform.

These production and performance software modules, incorporating a new generation of industry standards, are delivering heightened levels of system integration, process flexibility, and inter-enterprise collaboration. Coupled with today’s sophisticated ERP systems and IT environments, they are the launching pad for companies seeking to attain operational excellence for both local plant and global operations management.



Tune into this MBT podcast to learn how and why the combination of enterprise and industrial SOA’s are having such a far-ranging impact on operations management.
