ABB latest version of Industrial[IT] ECS.[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] ABB n. 1. Among weavers, yarn for the warp. Hence, Noun 1. ABB - an urban hit squad and guerrilla group of the Communist Party in the Philippines; formed in the 1980s has released the newest version of its IndustrialIT ECS See eComStation. Enterprise Connectivity Solutions; this release includes enhancements for quicker integration of systems, improved performance, and simplified user interface. ECS provides a streamlined, single point interface for vertical integration between plant and enterprise business systems for improved productivity, flexibility, quality control and reduced order-to-cash cycle. Part of ABB's Collaborative Production Management (CPM (1) (Critical Path Method) A project management planning and control technique implemented on computers. The critical path is the series of activities and tasks in the project that have no built-in slack time. ) portfolio, ECS helps customers become more competitive in the global marketplace by providing one standard interface that connects automation and business systems for information access and exchange, eliminating the need for multiple customised and complex system interfaces. It provides connectivity between manufacturing solutions, including ABB's award winning Industrial[IT] System 800xA, as well as non-ABB DCS (1) See also DSC. (2) Digital Cross-connect System) A network switching and grooming device used by telecom carriers. See digital cross-connect. systems, other CPM solutions, and enterprise systems such as SAP, Oracle or Microsoft. Additionally, ECS can integrate database systems, OPC-compliant systems or Web Service enabled systems. The latest release of ECS streamlines the integration process even further, with several new features making it more flexible and easier to implement. Online redundancy provides reliable integration for implementation while processes are running. Several enhancements simplify interface deployment, such as improved Drag and Drop A graphical user interface (GUI) capability that lets you perform operations by moving the icon of an object with the mouse into another window or onto another icon. For example, files can be copied or moved by dragging them from one folder to another. process definition, improved logging and model debugging (programming) debugging - The process of attempting to determine the cause of the symptoms of malfunctions in a program or other system. These symptoms may be detected during testing or use by real users. , and easier to use and understand graphics. ABB's Collaborative Production Management (CPM) solutions integrate all manufacturing systems, providing the real-time 1. real-time - Describes an application which requires a program to respond to stimuli within some small upper limit of response time (typically milli- or microseconds). Process control at a chemical plant is the classic example. visibility, execution, tracking, reporting, and optimizing of manufacturing processes. This results in decreasing costs through better production scheduling, execution and management, and increases revenues through improved customer service and product quality, to increase profits and enhance shareholder value.
