Introducing the Enterprise Control System, an entirely new class of system. The first affordable solution for integrating automation and information systems to drive more performance and business value from your plant assets, while dramatically driving down costs.
The InFusion ECS is the world’s first Enterprise Control System—allowing the use of ALL of today’s leading process automation and information systems together, regardless of supplier or generation, as one unified business environment. An ECS is not a DCS, but does incorporate a DCS, while at the same time going beyond to include “operations management” natively integrated to satisfy operations management needs today and into the future. The ECS brings the concepts of process control to business operations. Furthermore, the InFusion ECS fosters a collaborative environment by making the plant visible to the enterprise and the enterprise visible to the plant, dramatically increasing plant and business operational agility. And, by facilitating the transformation of data to information to knowledge to wisdom to action, the InFusion ECS accelerates decision-making while enhancing the ability to detect and effectively respond to unanticipated problems.
Because InFusion ECS is the Enterprise Control System (ECS) offering from Invensys Operations Management (IOM), it encompasses all of the products offered by IOM, together with other technologies that might exist within a client’s operation, with the plan that all will be integrated with a common technology platform. InFusion ECS gives Invensys customers best of breed capabilities in an open, flexible system with capabilities beyond other vendors.
Invensys is changing the way we do business to drive market-leading quality and reliability. We are unifying the breadth of our offerings to deliver a cohesive and comprehensive set of industry and business solutions that solve manufacturing, supply chain, and business operations challenges with greater impact and unprecedented results. We’re bringing more than any single product or discipline to achieve this – we’re bringing consulting, services, and a proven portfolio of specialized offerings from our well-known legacy brands of Wonderware, Foxboro, Triconex, SimSci-Esscor, Eurotherm and Avantis. The central focus of this Integration is the InFusion Enterprise Control System.
There is a wealth of data generated by the wide variety of systems typically found in a manufacturing operation. Because most of these systems operate independent of each other, gathering the appropriate information on which to base decisions is often a time consuming process and not always reliable.
But what if all of these systems, regardless of vendor or generation, could be unified as one comprehensive system? A system that would offer useful and reliable information to those who need it when they need it, allowing you to run your business in real time. An environment for easily replicating and deploying best practices across your enterprise. A platform for solutions that maximize the value of all your production assets. That is the vision for InFusion – the world’s first Enterprise Control System.
Since its launch in 2006, the InFusion ECS has been widely accepted as the platform of choice for unifying business and automation systems. InFusion’s unprecedented integration capabilities are enabled by the ArchestrA Industrial Services Oriented Architecture) - the technology backbone of an ECS. InFusion provides the means for multiple interdependent units across multiple sites and multiple automation domains to operate as one integrated system – what you do with it is limited only by your imagination.
