GE Proficy Workflow v2.1 software

Proficy Workflow Version 2.1 software digitises and streamlines production, with one tool, and is designed to integrate business and production processes across systems and departments for reliable, repeatable process execution. It makes it possible to integrate existing automation and control systems, speeding response to out-of-spec HMI/SCADA conditions with appropriate action.

It can assist in real-time asset management, bridging operations and maintenance, and linking SCADA and CMMS, improving uptime. Its task management capabilities allow users to capture the best practices of experienced operators and guide all workers with step-by-step instructions.

The latest version provides improved performance and scalability for large system deployments, allowing companies to replicate production processes across their organisation for increased consistency, quality and efficiency.

It offers improved capabilities for enforcing and tracking operator compliance, particularly important in highly regulated industries. Companies can verify documents and actions through enhanced electronic signatures, allowing them to move faster from critical issue detection to resolution thereby potentially decreasing the size of a recall or even preventing one.

Proficy Workflow is also said to provide significantly greater ease of use for defining and managing tasks, allowing companies to digitise operational processes faster and without IT resources. Production experts can more easily document processes, leveraging a simple graphical environment and re-usable templates.
