Industrial Information Technology
 
Overview

The efficient utilization of resources like Process, Product and People are becoming even more decisive factor for survival and progress of the organization. The residual information in various forms across all departments of the enterprise like Marketing, Production, Maintenance, Purchase, Accounts, Quality Control, Planning etc., needs to be shared amongst them for the benefit of the organization. A simple, low-cost, reliable and seamless access to the necessary information is the need of the hour. This calls for the need of integrating the plant floor to the office floor with the help of Technology, Collaboration and Integration. For this to happen the implementation of IT in industrial automation and control system engineering has become a must. Plant Automation Architecture and Enterprise Management System integration is therefore the key to overall success of the organization.

 
Definition of Industrial IT
Industrial Information technology can be defined broadly as acquisition, conditioning, transmission, distribution and processing of manufacturing or process data in various forms and its integration with the Enterprise Resource Management system.

Road Map

The main prerequisite of Industrial information technology is the infrastructure.
It comprises:

• The Automation Architecture, which consist of Strategic Data Collection Nodes across the length and width of the enterprise.

• The interface between the shop floor and office floor, which consist of the Software and Hardware system to enable the seamless information exchange.

The complete Industrial IT solution demands products and services for integration of the machine level controllers in production hall to create Automation Architecture, on one hand. On the other hand, it demands solution providers for integrating the Automation Architecture and Enterprise Management System to form seamless connection between the office floors to the plant floor.
