Process management systems giant Emerson has acquired Florida-based Decision Management International for an undisclosed sum.
It means that Emerson will be able to expand the scope of its real-time manufacturing for regulated process industries, with electronic management of workflow, materials, equipment, personnel and documentation.
Compliance Suite by DMI has been integrated with Emerson’s DeltaV batch management software as part of its PlantWeb digital architecture. The company says it enables high integrity, paperless manufacturing with an electronic batch record that improves cycle times and reduces manufacturing costs.
Emerson and DMI have been working together since 2002, delivering integrated manufacturing solutions to process facilities. With the added capabilities of DMI software, Emerson’s automation solutions will encompass the entire spectrum of process facility operations — everything from customer order receipt through production, warehousing and shipment.
