What is SAP MII ? ABF Industrielle Automation GmbH Deggendorfstraße 6 4030 Linz www.abf.at Dipl.-Ing. Hermann Freiberger + 43 732 304030 22 [email protected] Base Definitions Vertical Integration • Strong Trend to vertical Integration – Level 1 / 2 is growing up (industrial computers became a normal part of automation technology and are normally maintained by plant engineering staff) – ERP (Level 4) takes logistic functions as rough and detailed Planning, production preparation, production and quality control, processes get standardized in an increasing amount. – On the other hand, demands for integration of these processes get more complex in an increasing amount Vertical Integration - Development ERP Level 1/2 Standardisierung Level 3 Level 3 Vertical Integration • Goals – Standardization of processes – Centralized Data Management (Documentation, Data Protection and Backup) – No duplication of data acquisition and processing – Near real-time data in material management, controlling, sales & distribution… – ERP-data as basis for technology-specific solutions (optimization, process models…) Vertical Integration ERP MM Production Legacy-System PP HMI kundeneigenes System Datenbanken PM PP/PI QM Historie SCADA Tabellenkalkulation LIMS SPS DCS Platform versus MES-Products As you come close to the shop floor, production specific technology strikes through • Standard-MES – Should fit very well to the specific technology (industry solution), otherwise only a small part of functionality is used, the rest has to be done via adaption of standard functions) • Platform – Includes standard components for functionality, which is used in all projects (e.g. interfaces, logic components). These components are configured to project specific solutions. – Ideally a platform includes „templates“, which can be flexibly used as starting point for a technology-specific solution Requirements to MES-Platform • Strong Integration into ERP – Base Data in ERP – Setup of Producation out of ERP (no duplicated Acquisiton and Maintennache of Base and Order Data) – Real-time Confirmations to ERP (Material Management and Controlling) • • • • Technology-specific Processes Continuous Improvement of Processes High Level of Automation Company Solutions (Deployment, Roll-out, Support, Internationalisation, Security) SAP-MII meets these demands Functionally - Integration - Process Modelling - Visualisation Organizationally - Lifecycle-Management - Deployment Structurally - Standards - Infrastructure SAP-MII - Integration • ERP-Integration is the main asset – Data Integration with SAP ERP via JCO, JRA, WAS, IDOC – Access to other SAP NetWeaver-Components – Integration of existing ERP-Functions • SAP ERP Shop Floor – Integration of all important OPC-Servers – Integration of many SCADA-Systems and Historians (OSIsoft…) • SAP-MII Enterprise Applications – Web services, XML, PI – Legacy-Systems, MES OPC XML SQL Flatfile ... SAP-MII – Prozess Modelling • Graphical Interface for: – Parameterization of Templates – Integration of GUI-Components – Implementation of Business Logic • Advantages: – Clear structured, even when complex integration of data from different source is done – Extinctive Component Library (Simulation, JMS, Logs, Queuing, Email, PDF, XML, …) SAP-MII – Gui-Components Integrated Data Binding − Tables, Bars, Calendars, Chart Complex Charts − − SPC-Charts with Alarms Gantt-Charts, 3D-Darstellung Dynamic Graphics − − Dashboard-Components SVG-Rendering Support of Web-Standards − − Applets, Servlets, XSLT Asynchronous GUIs (e.g. AJAX) SAP-MII – Standards and Features … allow easy Integration of existing Systems and continous process improvement Platform NetWeaver − − SAP Platform J2EE Application Server Data Integration − − XML / XSL, SOAP, JAVA OPC, JDBC, MS Office Integration GUI − − User Management − − Internationalization − Support of several languages Project Administration − HTML, Applets, JavaScript XML / XSLT, SVG User Rights Role Concept Deployment, Rollout Template-Concept Advantages of SAP-MII in Projects • • • • Platform mit with a high percentage of standard in all areas, where normally much work has to be done in projects (e.g. interfaces) By this, concentration to process modelling is achieved Otherwise flexible enough for an easy developement of customer-specific solutions Independence of Supplier – Maintenance – Extensions and continuous improvement – Cooperations of several suppliers
