The ActivEssentials 5 manufacturing performance platform is built on the Microsoft .NET framework, with a Services-Oriented Architecture (SOA) model to leverage Web services.
The vendor’s patented Universal Factory Data Model (UFDM) is at the core of ActivEssentials 5, and is designed to remove the complexity of data analysis by collecting and categorizing data in a standardized format. The software incorporates real-time data from the plant floor and packages it in actionable reports. Areas of focus for this latest upgrade included improving enterprise capabilities in data management, consolidation of data and improved security, and additional performance and general quality improvements. With new tools like the Query Builder, users have access to drag-and-drop query creation from the database and the ability to share this XML data with external software.
