Gateway
One of the five key components of ActivEssentials®, the Gateway technology is a major enabler of the Activplant Performance Management System (APMS). The Gateway component of ActivEssentials facilitates data exchange between your existing business systems and APMS. It provides real-time web services that import and export data contained in the Universal Factory Data Model (UFDM), bringing information transparency through standard integration adapters for products such as SAP to data exchange wizards capable of accessing, filtering, grouping and triggering on any data item or event inside the UFDM. Whether yours is a commercial ERP or legacy system, or whether you require production scheduling, plant maintenance or inventory management, Gateway exposes UFDM data for export to any system that needs it. The ActivEssentials Gateway includes Gateway for SAP and Enterprise Gateway for transforming Activplant data in other data formats.
This powerful add-on adapter, newly available this year, takes Activplant Performance Management System information and transforms it into standard SAP data for maintenance, inventory back flushing and quality purposes. The SAP NetWeaver platform allows the Package for ActivEssentials to connect applications and leverage standards such as XML and Web services. The designation helps assure customers that their existing Activplant solution will easily interoperate with SAP NetWeaver, reducing the risk, time to market and costs associated with integration.
This powerful business process integration tool provides a mechanism to monitor, trigger and provide actions against Activplant Performance Management System data for the purposes of maintenance, quality control, materials management and production planning. Users have easy access to a sophisticated business rules generator which monitors APMS data, allowing them to set triggers against it and generate any number of actions including output to Maximo, XML or other data formats.
