Visiprise shop floor integration gets SAP SOA certification

That system provides users with a consistent, re-usable link between enterprise business solutions and shop floor systems using the SAP xApp Manufacturing Integration and Intelligence (SAP xMII) composite application and SAP’s NetWeaver integration, visualisation and analytics software. “The certified integration provides Visiprise customers with expanded value that will increase their enterprise- wide manufacturing efficiency,” says Sean McCloskey, president and CEO of Visiprise. “In particular, the tight coupling of Visiprise technology with SAP xMII will reduce rework, enabling customers to leverage the application when connecting multiple business solutions to the shop floor, dramatically reducing the time, effort and programming needed to complete discrete manufacturing projects.” Through SAP xApps Certified status, partners and ISVs like Visiprise are easing the path to a service-orientated architecture (SOA) following the principles and standards of SAP’s composite architectural guidelines. Composite applications that are certified by the SAP Integration and Certification Centre reuse, integrate and orchestrate functionalities from existing applications in the context of an enterprise SOA, with only selective development of new functionality where needed to fill gaps.
