June 15, 2020 -- Sage Clarity announced the release of ABLE 2.0 . ABLE is a cloud-based, Internet of Things (IoT) solution that provides real-time root cause analysis for manufacturing operations and part of Sage Clarity's MES ecosystem product suite. Sage Clarity's Manufacturing Execution System (MES) ecosystem product suite is a set of modules, integrations, and plug-in applications to expand the MES footprint. Its capabilities are intended to help drive Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) data collection strategies that provide cutting-edge applications to unlock the value of their manufacturing software.
ABLE 2.0 functionality Includes:
- Real-time progressive root cause analysis
- Real-time analytics and KPIs for performance including Machine Work Center Availability, MTBF, MTTR
- APIs to enable the MES ecosystem apps for MES solutions.
- Tight integration with Sage Clarity's other ecosystem apps such as Next Gen Andon, for machine-driven alert tracking.
The ABLE middleware solution resides between the plant floor and the MES/SCADA layer and requires no PLC data acquisition programming. The cloud technology eliminates the needs for special infrastructure, providing easy scale and rapid deployment. The Middleware solution integrates with MES platforms such as Epicor Informance, Wonderware MES, and many others.
