Citect announces the release of version 3.2 of its manufacturing execution system (MES), Ampla, which provides new features to support service oriented architectures (SOA) and significantly reduce the time to develop operational reports, including more seamless linking to tools such as Microsoft Reporting Services and Crystal Reports.
SOA, says Citect, allows multiple applications to provide and consume services using standards, which in turn provides clients with faster integration and more flexible business processes. The move to SOA also enables faster delivery of new services to customers.
Ampla V3.2 utilizes a new web service layer to support SOA, and Ampla’s web services have been designed up-front for platform independence and broad interoperability, including culture invariance, time zone independence, WS-I compliance testing and Java interoperability testing.
