IFS/Process Automation Integration™ manages the interaction with automation equipment from different vendors. The communication is built on the vendor-independent communication standard, OLE for Process Control (OPC), using IFS eConnect as a platform. IFS acts as an OPC client and demands a connection via TCP/IP to an OPC server on the automation side (e.g., a SCADA station). IFS/Process Automation Integration opens a wide range of possibilities (e.g., proactive maintenance based on real-time data, OEE fed with real-time data directly from the plant, and interaction between customer orders and the production line). The setup environment is an easy-to-use Windows-based interface. We also provide support to access IFS' business system information directly in the operator system via IFS Personal Portal.
