1. Highlights

In today’s competitive and dynamic manufacturing environment, there is a critical need to

complete the manufacturing supply chain by linking manufacturing systems and business
applications. The Wonderware Enterprise Integration Application facilitates this
fundamental enterprise integration, empowering Wonderware customers to achieve
sustainable profitability through full synchronization between business and manufacturing
systems.

Wonderware's Enterprise Integration Application enables:

• Configurable transactional integration with business applications, including:

o Integration of manufacturing systems with enterprise business systems
(e.g., SAP, Oracle, J.D. Edwards);
o Operational integration between multiple manufacturing sites and
solutions (i.e., a product completed at one plant can then be utilized at
another plant);
o Transactional integration between manufacturing and other supply-chain
applications in a manufacturing environment (e.g., advanced-planning, LIMS,
PLM and quality-management systems); and
o Integration with existing messaging and middleware investments (e.g.,
WebSphere, TIBCO, MQ Series), aligned with existing infrastructure and IT
strategies.

• Master data management for manufacturing operations

o There is a repository for all information related to manufacturing operations,
facilitating the execution and coordination of manufacturing operations.

• Localized dispatching of production work orders

o Release individual production work orders to actual manufacturing resources
on the plant floor, for faster execution and increased accuracy in execution.

• Adoption of industry standards

o Total cost of ownership (TCO) can be reduced by adopting industry standards
for the integration of enterprise and control systems and for manufacturing
interoperability. The Wonderware Enterprise Integration Application
encapsulates and re-uses engineering and best practices in accordance with
these standards.

 Fig. 1: High-Level Positioning of Wonderware’s Enterprise Integration Application

Wonderware’s Enterprise Integration Application can operate automatically. It can

transparently send and receive messages. It can transform and modify message content
while controlling the sequence of operations required to maintain connections between
two or more applications.

The Wonderware Enterprise Integration Application leverages ArchestrA technology to

provide a highly flexible real-time event system. It also offers powerful orchestration and
workflow management functions. It serves as a transactional-messaging integration
layer to the ArchestrA architecture. As a result, Wonderware customers benefit from:

• Complete architectural freedom;

• Out-of-the-box integration to hundreds of applications in both the manufacturing
automation space and business applications;
• Powerful graphical configuration that enables assembly, rather than programming,
of message transformation and event detection;
• Configuration of workflow transformations and real-time event mappings, so they
can be easily established and maintained; and

The Wonderware Enterprise Integration Application Page 4

 • A very flexible, robust architecture, which enables existing business and
manufacturing systems to work in a complementary fashion that is loosely coupled
yet extremely reliable.

In essence, the Wonderware Enterprise Integration Application addresses the current need
for transactional business integration in manufacturing automation systems.

2. Capabilities

Wonderware recognizes the importance of providing an integration solution that avoids

the complexity of creating and maintaining proprietary interfaces, while still providing the
following capabilities:

• Powerful orchestration of multiple-application workflows;

• Transformation mapping in non-programmatic environments;
• Built-in event handling and integration of events within the manufacturing system;
• Scalability from a small pilot to multiple sites;
• Security between non-trusted environments;
• Robust message delivery through high-availability architectural options;
• Ability to build standards and re-usable rules, transformations and workflows that
can be rolled out across multiple sites in the organization;
• Support for open information standards such as ISA-95 and the message structures
defined in B2MML (Business-to-Manufacturing Markup Language) messages;
• Extended application messages and message structures that can be customized to
fit specific applications;
• Seamless integration with Wonderware application components, as well as non-
Wonderware automation packages and other databases; and
• Support for integration standards such as SQL, ODBC, XML and OLE.

3. Industry Standards

An integrated manufacturing ecosystem is essential in today’s market. Business and

manufacturing systems must have loosely coupled solutions that interact in a non-intrusive
manner. Message delivery must be robust, transparent and automated. This design
philosophy enables each system to perform its duty at the required rate, while interacting
with other systems in a timely manner.

Following Wonderware’s tradition for building solutions that employ robust, market-
leading technologies and industry standards, the Wonderware Enterprise Integration
Application leverages:

The Wonderware Enterprise Integration Application Page 5

 • ISA-95 standards for manufacturing-to-enterprise integration. As a voting member
of the ISA-95 committee, Wonderware actively provides direction for these
standards;
• B2MML standards;
• MIMOSA (Machinery Information Management Open Systems Alliance) standards
for collaborative asset lifecycle management;
• OAGIS (Open Applications Group Integration Specification) business-language
standards for enterprise application interoperability;
• ArchestrA technology, which provides an open and flexible event system;
• The latest Microsoft technologies;
• The OPC protocol for real-time connectivity to plants; and
• SQL/OLE database support and database integration.

By combining these standards and technologies with proven libraries of pre-built

integration applications, manufacturers’ systems can get up and running faster and with
lower risk.

4. Library of Pre-Built Integration Templates

Wonderware offers a library of pre-built integration templates that leverage ArchestrA

technology and enable customization for each application. These templates are
appropriate for a wide variety of integration scenarios. The following are some examples
of what can be done with these powerful templates.

• Download production schedules from ERP systems – The Enterprise Integration

Application uses B2MML messaging to create and schedule work in the
manufacturing environment, enabling an ISA-95 schedule to automatically create
batches and lots that are ready to be executed.

• Upload performance-optimizing production parameters throughout the work

order cycle – An Enterprise Integration Application template can configure ISA-95
process segments and events relative to the existing manufacturing model. The
Enterprise Integration Application can also upload production parameters into ISA-
95 (B2MML) production performance documents.

• Integrate transactions between Wonderware’s InBatch, InTrack and

Industrial Application Server software -- Using Enterprise Integration
Application templates, you can use an InTrack system as a manufacturing model,
take advantage of InBatch scheduling and batch execution, upload data on batch
results and consumables back into the InTrack software during completion, and
include this information in the production history. Another template utilizes
InTrack features to integrate manufacturing facilities where products can be

The Wonderware Enterprise Integration Application Page 6

 shipped from one InTrack system and automatically received by another, based on
production events.

• Leverage automatic integration of KPI data -- Enterprise Integration Application

templates can also assist in the automatic transference of KPI data from a
condition-based monitoring system on the plant floor to the computer
maintenance system.

These pre-built integration templates are under constant development, so this list will
continue to grow.

5. Components

While possible topologies will be discussed later, it is important to understand the

following key modules of the Wonderware Enterprise Integration Application:

• Business orchestration module

This module provides workflow and transformation capabilities that can interface
with messaging systems and APIs (application programming interfaces). It leverages
Microsoft BizTalk Server technology and a range of adaptors available on the
market. There is an interface between the business orchestration module and the
manufacturing module, which can pass across firewalls.

• Manufacturing module
This is the module that resides within the manufacturing automation system, either
apart from the system (when Wonderware’s Industrial Application Server is already
installed) or on top of the existing automation system. The manufacturing module
acts as a real-time event engine and integrates with existing plant system(s)
through the SuiteLink protocol, DDE, OPC or SQL as a result of ArchestrA
technology. This module will be independent of the business orchestration module.
It includes a production database in Microsoft SQL Server that uses an ISA-95
database schema for all the different sections of the standard, such as the
“planned” and “actual” data. This module also enables the downloading of
schedules that can be stored in the ERP until required for use in the manufacturing
system.

The manufacturing module includes a repository for all information related to

manufacturing operations. It can store schedules, orders and product-specification
data from ERP and PLM systems, as well as equipment-specific setup specifications
and other information from sources like OEM machine builders. Finally, the
manufacturing module enables production work orders to be dispatched locally

The Wonderware Enterprise Integration Application Page 7

 for the release of production work orders to actual manufacturing resources on
the plant floor, such as packaging machines, mixing units or work centers.

• Application adaptors (optional)

Wonderware has established a relationship with iWay Software to provide adaptors
for Microsoft BizTalk Server as part of the Enterprise Integration Application.
(Please refer to the section called Partnership with iWay.)

• Production dispatch client (optional)

The Enterprise Integration Application’s production dispatch client is the local
client to the manufacturing module. It enables Wonderware customers to:
• Enter a schedule manually if the ERP system is down;
• Display proposed orders;
• Perform dispatching activities locally by correlating orders as well as
product and equipment specifications, and assigning individual production
work orders to specific production lines or work centers for execution;
• Assign captured production events to an ERP production order after the
events have taken place; and
• Locally release production orders to manufacturing.

6. Benefits

The significant benefits of Wonderware’s Enterprise Integration Application are:

6.1. The Ability to Traverse a Business’ Varying Security Models

Critical to today’s integration solutions is the ability to interconnect applications
that exist in different (often non-trusted) security domains without compromising
the security of either domain or the applications. A secure, well planned business
security model will have multiple firewalls that isolate the plant-floor applications
from the rest of the enterprise. Yet to run an effective manufacturing ecosystem,
these applications must pass messages. The Wonderware Enterprise Integration
Application was designed to enable this integration in a secure environment.

6.2. Multiple-Enterprise and Supply-Chain Application Integration

The Wonderware Enterprise Integration Application provides adaptors that connect
to hundreds of enterprise applications, such as:
• ERP systems from SAP, Oracle Manufacturing, J.D. Edwards, Baan, i2
Technologies and Microsoft Dynamics (formerly MBS) - Axapta and
Navision; as well as

The Wonderware Enterprise Integration Application Page 8

 • Message interfaces from MSMQ, IBM MQ Series, Web Services, XML,
OLE DB and SOAP.

6.3. Scalability
To address an enterprise’s future integration needs, the most logical approach is to
start with a pilot and then scale up. The Wonderware Enterprise Integration
Application provides the ability to scale the number of:
• Real-time plant connections;
• Workflows and transformations; and
• Application connections being integrated.

With its flexible architecture (see the Centralized Topology section for details), the
Wonderware Enterprise Integration Application provides the ability to evolve
architectures to meet physical distribution requirements and fit existing IT
structures. Examples include:

• A pilot with one plant connected to one business system;

• Multiple plants physically distributed and connected to one business
system; and
• Single- or multiple-plant systems connected to multiple-business systems.

6.4. Built-In Administration Tools

Central to both ArchestrA and Microsoft BizTalk Server technologies is the
fundamental ability to administer and add instruments to the application, so that
users can proactively address issues. By incorporating the Industrial Application
Server’s powerful real-time event system, users can be notified of errors as part of
the plant alarming system, and notification can be both logged and sent via e-mail
or telephone to select personnel. Through Wonderware’s SuiteVoyager portal
software, users can integrate powerful reporting and dashboard capabilities to
bring the information to their fingertips.

6.5. Integrated Real-Time Event Engine

The Enterprise Integration Application’s event engine enables users to configure
plant events and integrate them with installed plant automation systems,
connecting through hundreds of interfaces and the open connectivity provided by
OPC technology. Due to the distributed nature of the ArchestrA architecture, plant
personnel can detect events by applying multiple distributed event engines. Even
though these engines can be physically distributed, they are managed as one, and
integrate seamlessly with one or more orchestration engines, which can be located
in another domain and location. This provides unparalleled flexibility and high-
availability options.

The Wonderware Enterprise Integration Application Page 9

 6.6. Powerful Orchestration Environment
As illustrated in Fig. 2, the Enterprise Integration Application’s orchestration
environment enables the configuration of flow between applications. A user can
create an unattended execution schedule that can be based either on time-related
events or plant events defined in the real-time event engine, which is constantly
receiving, transforming and forwarding messages.

Fig. 2: Graphical Workflow Configuration

6.7. Transform and Map Schemas for Subsequent Re-Use

The key to passing messages between applications is the ability to transform and
map the different schemas. Through Microsoft BizTalk Server’s powerful “data
mapper” (see Fig. 3), users can build this mapping visually and save it as a reusable
transformation from one workflow and project to another.

The Wonderware Enterprise Integration Application Page 10

 Fig. 3: Messaging Mapping

6.8. The ArchestrA Architecture’s Real-Time Application Integration

Platform for Services
Because it’s built on the ArchestrA architecture, the Enterprise Integration
Application offers extensive services, especially those associated with alarming,
events, customization and scripting. It also facilitates the creation of standards for
real-time manufacturing and tight system-wide integration.

6.9. Synchronized Information Flow Coupled with Independent,

Continuous Plant Operations
Using the Production Dispatch Client (PDC), the Wonderware Enterprise Integration
Application maintains close synchronization of information between plant and
business systems, without interrupting operations -- even if the connection to a
central ERP system is not available, and during planned downtime of the ERP
system.

The Wonderware Enterprise Integration Application Page 11

 The production schedule and individual production orders can be created,
modified and maintained manually, and locally released to manufacturing. The
captured information is then assigned to an ERP production order, keeping the
information in the appropriate context within the business system.

Fig. 4: The Wonderware Enterprise Integration Application's Production Dispatch Client

6.10. Management of Master Data for Manufacturing Operations

Execution of manufacturing operations can be improved by synchronizing all the
master data for manufacturing operations. The Wonderware Enterprise Integration
Application can correlate production orders, product-specification data, quality
specifications, sampling plans and equipment-specific setup specifications. It can
also store schedules, orders and product-specification data from ERP and PLM
systems. It can also contain equipment-specific setup specifications and other
information from sources like OEM machine builders.

6.11. The Ability to Locally Dispatch Production Work Orders

The Enterprise Integration Application can locally perform dispatching activities on
individual production work orders using manufacturing resources that enable
manufacturers to properly respond to deviations in the production schedule. This
capability can be used to enhance equipment setups or to retain information from
a golden batch. Business and manufacturing systems work best when leveraging
loosely coupled solutions that interact in a non-intrusive manner.

The Wonderware Enterprise Integration Application Page 12

 The Enterprise Integration Application also enables manufacturing processes to run
independently of business system availability. As a result, in a 24/7 manufacturing
environment, plant staff can synchronize actual production records with
production schedules.

6.12. Application Assembly, Not Programming

Because it uses pre-built and tested adaptors to integrate applications and a
component-based application model, Wonderware’s Enterprise Integration
Application is designed to enable configuration and assembly of solutions that
avoid programming.

7. High-Availability Topology

Complete architectural freedom is a key strength offered by the Wonderware Enterprise

Integration Application. For situations in which the Enterprise Integration Application is
being used to integrate business applications, we recommend the topology illustrated in
Fig. 5. This topology is commonly found in companies that have a central business system
and multiple physically distributed manufacturing sites.

Fig. 5: Central ERP Wrapped in a Messaging System

When implementing business systems, many organizations wrap them in middleware to

enable the processing of incoming or outgoing messages to multiple sites and business
applications. Many companies use products like Mercator, IBM WebSphere, TIBCO and
Microsoft BizTalk Server to achieve this, and a corporate messaging system (e.g., MQSeries,

The Wonderware Enterprise Integration Application Page 13

MSMQ, Web Services) to manage the delivery of these messages between different sites
and applications.

As an example, SAP’s drive for implementing versions of its ERP central component (ECC)
SAP 4.7 and SAP NetWeaver™ technology, this type of application architecture will
become even more common, as NetWeaver provides a powerful transformation and
business-flow environment for transforming incoming and outgoing messages to the
appropriate calls within the R3 system. Especially in the manufacturing environment, where
companies are striving for standard messages between different sites, many companies
base their messages on ISA-95 (B2MML) standards.

Having determined a common message structure at the business end, the proposed
architecture places the Enterprise Integration Application at each site so that it can collect
incoming messages and transform them into the required calls needed in that particular
site. Usually, each manufacturing site will require its own transformation of standard
messages.

Here’s a simplified example of the functional flow for this architecture:

1. The ERP system sends a schedule, which is transformed by the ERP middleware
(let’s say SAP NetWeaver XI) to the ISA-95 (B2MML) production-schedule message,
and places it on the message bus.
2. The messaging system delivers the message to the correct manufacturing site.
3. The Enterprise Integration Application’s business orchestration module collects the
message at the manufacturing site and transforms it through workflows into the
ISA-95 production database. This enables a production schedule to be stored
locally. In case the SAP connection is lost, manufacturing will continue. This
architecture facilitates the customization of workflows and mappings, as well as a
manual entry system that enables schedules to be entered via a local terminal.
4. The Enterprise Integration Application’s manufacturing module pulls the scheduled
orders and makes the required calls to the batching/manufacturing execution
system (MES) to start executing the orders. It also monitors all production events,
collects the required data and transforms it to the ISA-95 production database,
which is ready for uploading to the business system.
5. In the event of a particular process-update event or business-system request, the
business orchestration module queries the ISA-95 production database, builds the
required ISA-95 production-performance message and places it on the message
bus.
6. The message system sends the message to the business system.
7. The business system’s middleware collects the message and transforms it to the
required calls in the business system.

This example illustrates how the Wonderware Enterprise Integration Application

The Wonderware Enterprise Integration Application Page 14

complements the business system’s middleware to provide a loose coupling and robust
architecture where a standard business interface can be established. This technique
preserves common messaging structures while maintaining the uniqueness of each
manufacturing site and the existing MES/batch systems that run those sites. Based on
Wonderware’s experience, this architecture is a good scalable, robust topology that suits
most multi-site organizations.

This approach is found in companies that have only one manufacturing site or where the
business system is local to each site -- effectively, these companies run each site as its own
business. This topology is also appropriate for companies with business systems that
cannot be wrapped in standard middleware.

While each company must be analyzed on a case-by-case basis, companies with multiple
physically distributed manufacturing sites that plan to switch to a central business system
should seriously consider the standard-messaging approach and architecture proposed in
the first topology.

8. Mapping between Business and Manufacturing Systems

The focus of the business system is different from that of the manufacturing or MES
system – and they should be in order to optimize the performance of their required tasks
within the organization. Due to their different areas of specialization, different
terminologies and groupings are applied, requiring resolution for optimal integration and
interoperability. The ISA-95 standard (parts 1 and 2) provide a basis for these messages,
but they do not provide all the structure. The World Batch Forum developed the B2MML
message structure.

Having implemented a number of ISA-95 integrations, Wonderware has found that these
two standards (ISA-95 and B2MML) provide a solid basis for standard messaging --
providing approximately 80% of the structure. However, as would be expected, there
should be room for customization according to the different sites.

Leading end-users have often discussed applying these standards, particularly when
mapping ISA-95 process segments to a structure in the SAP recipe and MES plant model
(e.g., S-88 and ISA-95 part 3).

The Wonderware Enterprise Integration Application Page 15

 Fig. 6: Mapping Example

Fig. 6 is a good example of a mapping topology in which numerous sites are mapped.
(Note: this will vary by site and organization.) However, end-users with a common business
system will strive to pass common messages between the business and manufacturing
systems. Therefore, a standard set of mapping rules across the entire organization will be
required.

Wonderware has found from its business use cases that, typically, defining these mapping
rules is the most challenging part of any implementation, especially the first project. In
order to help with this problem, Wonderware offers consulting expertise to end-users as
well as system integrators (SIs).

9. Ensuring Successful Implementations through Qualified System

Integrators

In order to ensure the highest-quality implementations, Wonderware has initiated a special

system integrator qualification program specifically for the Wonderware Enterprise
Integration Application. This program is designed to assist companies that are considering
a Wonderware Enterprise Integration Application in the selection of the best integrator for
the project.

The Wonderware Enterprise Integration Application Page 16

Wonderware can recommend existing qualified Wonderware system integrators or provide
application experts to work with a customer’s preferred system integrator on the initial
project in order to transfer knowledge and qualify the customer’s system integrator.

Due to the complex nature of system integration, integrators who implement successful
business system-to-manufacturing systems must possess knowledge of both business and
manufacturing systems. To verify this level of knowledge, Wonderware provides a
qualification program for system integrators who would like to implement Wonderware
Enterprise Integration Applications. The objectives of this program are to:

• Establish a global set of qualified system integrators to support implementations of

the Wonderware Enterprise Integration Application, and
• Work with end-users to determine the best-qualified SIs in their local areas, and
then work with the SIs to achieve qualification.

Qualification can be achieved through training and collaboration with Wonderware

enterprise integration specialists during the initial implementation.

This program complements the overall Wonderware System Integrator Program. (Learn
more about this program at www.wonderware.com/solution_providers/SI/). In order to
deploy the Wonderware Enterprise Integration Application, system integrators should be
ArchestrA Certified SIs, or at least have the required skills and expertise to achieve this
level of certification. Qualified SIs have been trained on how to successfully implement a
Wonderware Enterprise Integration Application. They understand how to capture the right
kind of information from the customer and determine the most appropriate
implementation approach. They also possess knowledge pertaining to business rules and
workflows, enabling them to link the business system to the manufacturing system. (The
best approach can vary widely from organization to organization.)
