HMI and SCADA systems are a major source of run-time data in the process industry. Designed to access a number of data points across the process flow, HMI and SCADA systems create an operator view of critical process variables, and provide a dashboard with vital information for effective process control and automation, enabling significant improvement in operational efficiency. As manufacturing becomes more and more event-driven, information that originates on the factory floor as a part of the production process is what drives Real-time Performance Management (RPM) applications. Today, manufacturing intelligence and visibility represent collected data that is aggregated, compiled and analyzed to drive RPM, asset management and continuous process improvement.

Technological advancements have made it possible to gather accurate intelligence on process variables at the equipment level, enabling real-time monitoring of events occurring at machine and device levels, and allowing fine-tuned process control using complex logic. Based on the degree of embedded intelligence at the device level, processed information - rather than just raw data - can be provided to the business systems. Device-level equipment can be linked to machine condition monitoring applications, as well as to enterprise asset management applications to provide real-time metrics for improved operational visibility to enable a fact-based decision process. Data collected from programmable logic controllers, computer numerical controllers, automated assembly equipment, quality assurance and manual entry points is used across a broad range of production management and enterprise level systems.
