Architecture helps plants bid farewell to islands of automation
ArchestrA, the company’s new comprehensive plant automation and information architecture that extends the life of legacy systems by leveraging the latest software technologies.
Offerings built on this architecture enable manufacturers to achieve business goals without abandoning prior investments in automation systems, production processes or intellectual property. In the ArchestrA environment, software applications can be assembled rather than programmed and new applications can also be created through the reassembly of existing applications. ArchestrA’s approach to industrial architecture reduces a plant’s total cost of ownership through easy installation, operation, modification, maintenance and replication of automation applications, according to Invensys.
