Rockwell Software ERP Integration Gateway

Click2Contact

The Rockwell Software ERP Integration Gateway application is designed to allow plants to more easily and cost-effectively exchange transactions and execute business processes across the plant floor and business systems in real time.

The architecture of the ERP Integration Gateway allows for exchange of common types of information required for agile manufacturing, such as quality, order planning and scheduling, as well as accounting of production costs and material usage. The ability to exchange quality information between manufacturing and business systems provides a number of benefits - including fewer deviations and exceptions, lower cost of quality and compliance, and faster release of finished goods.

The integration of order planning and scheduling also helps manufacturers improve on-time delivery, supply chain efficiencies and resource utilisation, and it gives the ability to more quickly respond to changing business demands. Integrating accounting of production costs and material usage can help reduce cycle time and inventories, and can provide a more accurate accounting of product and production costs.

The ERP Integration Gateway is delivered on the Rockwell Software manufacturing services bus, which is designed to provide a service-oriented architecture (SOA) framework for messaging between applications that is secure, robust, scalable and highly available. The manufacturing services bus supports all of the common enterprise integration patterns and over 30 different transport technologies, allowing for deployment into any existing IT environment with minimal disruption.

Graphical data mapping and the use of open, industry-standard tools provide visual data transformation that requires no coding, allowing users to benefit from faster deployments, lower risk and reduced maintenance costs.
