Manufacturing time is critical and factors like time-to-market and time-to-customer either make or break the company. Stringent regulations in batch manufacturing industries like pharmaceuticals and specialty chemicals are driving the need for product quality, reliability, batch tracking and compliance. Production personnel lack the mission critical decision support needed to respond to exceptions and to meet their targets. Decreasing the need for dedicated personnel and reducing paperwork for manufacturers are the primary services the products endeavor to deliver. Connection between the plant and the enterprise, and further between the supply chain, is critical in achieving the promised goals.
