Hey gang,
I just got this in my weekly ARCwire email and thought some of you might be
interested.
[
Invensys Software has announced a new ability to deliver open, unified
automation and information solutions for process, batch, discrete, and
hybrid manufacturing applications. The common platform is build around the
Invensys ArchestrA framework, which has been in development since 1998. It
will be used to unify the Invensys Foxboro, APV, Wonderware, Triconex,
Esscor, and Simulation Sciences products for broader applicability across
all manufacturing industry and application domains. The common
architecture, which will run on Microsoft technology, will offer a
migration path for customers, greater ease of use, scalability, and more
functionality.

Let us dissect the last sentence.
The common architecture, (we're putting all of our development effort
into one platform) which will run on Microsoft technology(no surprise
here), will offer a migration path for customers(Solaris users are in
trouble), greater ease of use (always promised, seldom delivered),
scalability (You can mix and match NT, 2000 and XP), and more
functionality(comes with Excel plug-ins).
At least that's my take on it. Any of you guys familiar with this
ArchestrA stuff? I'd like to know what you think.
Regards,
David
