Platform Module

The CDC Factory Platform provides a powerful backbone for the entire suite. It’s a central system for single- or multi-server environments that includes data collection, processing / communications, administrator interfaces for configuration and technical management. The automated data engine provides the flexibility to capture all automation signals needed to address the full scope of manufacturing opportunities.

The CDC Factory Platform can capture all plant signals and models the abstracted data in real-time, feeding its own suite of rich applications. This approach promotes low installation costs and maximum depth of information in a standard, out-of-the-box application suite. The Platform comes pre-configured with industry-relevant production audit and standards for stable import/export routines. The manual data entry and data editing/correcting capabilities give organizations ultimate control over how their data is managed.

Here’s what Platform can do for your corporate data acquisition and performance metrics initiatives:

Lowest Total Cost of Ownership

CDC’s patented Universal Factory Data Model (UFDM) provides an instant data warehouse for the factory floor. The UFDM requires no coding to install, implement, or maintain.

Flexible Scalability

Cost-effectively handle small plants with as few as a dozen assets, or large multi-plant operations with thousands of assets, hundreds of users, and millions of data points.

Consolidated Monitoring and Reporting

Replace multiple, disparate monitoring and data collection systems across your operation for considerable cost savings in ongoing management, maintenance, and training – with a consistent view of all your plant data.

Openness and Interoperability

Industry standard software components offer secure interoperability, while open web standards ensure compatibility with other systems. Built on the Microsoft .NET framework, Platform uses a services-oriented architectural model (SOA) to leverage powerful web services.
