Real-time Production OrganizerTM MES platform packages

17 February 2009

Yokogawa Electric Corporation announces the release of Real-time Production OrganizerTM (RPO): a suite of manufacturing execution system (MES) platform packages that integrate the vertical production execution workflow across departments and empower decision-makers to organise their work quickly and efficiently.

Real-time Production OrganizerTM MES platform packages

RPO performs the definition, dispatch, execution, analysis, and tracking functions, thereby speeding up the 'plan/do/check/act' cycle. ISA-95 is the international standard for the integration of enterprise and control systems. Based on this standard, Yokogawa is able to integrate ERP and MES rapidly and at lower cost. The 'plan/do/check/act' cycle is a four-step iterative process for improving business processes.

The RPO packages bring customers the benefits of business-oriented operations through shared information between planning and management, quick operation changes through co-operative operations, safe and stable operations through plant-wide monitoring, and improved operator productivity.

RPO consists of five platform packages: Workflow Composer VP, Production Co-ordinator VP, Production Instructor VP, Production Supervisor VP, and Production Tracker VP. Each package supports a Web service, making RPO ready for a service-oriented architecture (SOA). Users can introduce these packages in stages.
