July 22, 2016 - RedViking announces Argonaut, a flexible, scalable MES, to be introduced to the market at IMTS 2016. Argonaut lets users install only the manufacturing apps they need, only where they need them and control them from a central location. Argonaut’s open architecture is designed to give users the ability to start with one app and add others as they need them. Put error-proofing on one cell, tracking and product genealogy on another and automated work instructions throughout the plant. Update them all from a central location, with virtually no downtime.
With full IIoT publish/subscribe capability, users will have the ability to provide manufacturing data to any secure recipient anywhere in the world. Argonaut uses Spearhead, the edge of network device that captures data directly from PLCs and other plant floor devices, eliminating the need for an operation-level PC.
