April, 21, 2009 – ILS Technology announced today the latest deviceWISE Embedded Edition product for the Siemens S7-300 family of PLCs. The deviceWISE platform eliminates the use of intermediate PC technology for this connectivity and therefore reduces installation, maintenance and security issues, while shortening long system-integration cycles. Utilizing deviceWISE in combination with the new SIMATIC CP 343-1 ERPC for the S7 family, users can process data and send it to a variety of external systems.
These include databases, message and queuing systems such as Oracle Manufacturing Operations Center and IBM WebSphere, in addition to simple systems like email servers. deviceWISE becomes a power tool for the system-integrator marketplace allowing difficult device aggregation. deviceWISE also increases the value provided by intelligent devices in production, enabling OEMs to analyze the data that is transported to enterprise applications and in turn increase the value of their intelligent devices for customers.The deviceWISE framework links PLCs, RFID readers and other intelligent devices in a network to enable bidirectional data flow between systems running IBM DB2, IBM WebSphere, Oracle, Microsoft SQL Servers and other software.
This connectivity provides companies with an accurate picture of the production environment, allowing them to monitor and retrieve information faster and to respond to operational issues in real-time. The deviceWISE platform is designed to break through layers of data transfer between enterprise and automation systems to allow secure, real-time connectivity that can unlock the full capabilities of next-generation automation solutions.
