Other features include standards-based information interoperability between plant floor, manufacturing execution (MES), and enterprise systems. And a unified engineering and support environment across both plant floor and MES systems, plus a powerful application object model that simplifies the creation and re-use of innovative new equipment-, unit-, and plant-level strategies.
