Rockwell Automation has extended the capabilities of its Rockwell Software industry solutions with an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Integration Gateway application. The application allows plants to more easily and cost-effectively exchange transactions and execute business processes across plant-floor and business systems, in real-time. The ERP Integration Gateway allows for exchange of common types of information required for agile manufacturing, such as quality, order planning and scheduling, as well as accounting of production costs and material usage. The ERP Integration Gateway is delivered on the Rockwell Software manufacturing services bus, which provides a proven service-oriented architecture (SOA) framework for messaging between applications that is secure, robust, scalable and highly available. The manufacturing services bus supports all of the common enterprise integration patterns and more than 30 different transport technologies, allowing for deployment into any existing IT environment with minimal disruption. Graphical data mapping and the use of open, industry standard tools provide visual data transformation that requires no coding, allowing users to benefit from faster deployments, lower risk and reduced maintenance costs.
