-- SIMATIC IT Introduction and Industry Applications 

    The relationship between plant and enterprise has become critical in allowing companies to keep pace with the accelerating speed of business. The highest product specification, the lowest cost, the shortest time-to-market and the best quality put much pressure on manufacturing enterprises. In general, the current IT architecture failed to manage and integrate large amount of enterprise business, such as:

    ? Lack of production synchronization within supply chain
    ? Lack of statistics data for performance evaluation and production tracking
    ? Demands for resource planning adjustment during downtime
    ? Requirements for production trace and tracking

    Therefore, it is necessary to have an effective integration system between process control system (product manufacturing) and enterprise management system (decision making). Manufacturing Execution System (MES) not only provides a layer of communication between your Business Systems and Control Systems, but also offers a set of coordinated functions capable of optimizing plant activity throughout all phases of production.

    As the only one TIA supplier, Siemens is always committed to provide customers with the “point to point” totally integrated enterprise solution, satisfying the whole range of requirements for automation in the manufacturing market, from field devices to MES.

   In the Siemens TIA (Totally Integrated Automation) offering, SIMATIC IT represents the MES layer. Siemens Ltd. China, A&D AS is pleased to welcome you to SIMATIC IT Open Day, a unique event to guide you into the SIMATIC IT world and disclose how SIMATIC IT synchronizes, analyzes, coordinates and optimizes your production, targeting the effective integration between production process and business decision making.
