Starthis has released a new advanced version of its premier connectivity software. This is the next evolution in using information to manage and streamline the real-time flow of information across the plant floor and throughout the enterprise. Starthis iTapestry includes the tools used to access, move and display real-time data dynamically and make it useful. Information will now resonate throughout the corporation in many useful ways - CRM. SCM. MES and ERP. It is the newest and most effective way for any enterprise to connect real-time plant operations with dynamic decision making.
Imagine the evolutionary benefits to having:
Real-time quality manufacturing/monitoring -- alerting any problems throughout the enterprise
Connecting ERP/CRM packages to production data easily
Controlling the production floor in real-time -- monitoring in easy to read visual dashboards from the front office
Effectively recording production data for future analysis
Having multiple ways to connect PLC data without the cumbersome proprietary data structures and hard-to-use programming difficulties
Being able to make faster decisions based on the complete supply chain by connecting the entire enterprise to production systems
Your factory data will now connect completely throughout the enterprise
Starthis iTapestry Software will connect all your applications using a single API programming interface deployable in J2EE, standalone java or as an appliance product. Complete ready-to-use, real-time solutions to all your factory-enterprise communications issues. All without the usual software compatibility problems of competing technology (with hard-to-connect proprietary data systems and unreliable programming interfaces). Superior programming architecture means easier and faster installations. Starthis iTapestry 4 provides multiple methods to connect with industrial automation devices such as Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), and automation devices from Allen Bradley, Siemens, Omron, or GE. Starthis iTapestry 4 provides direct connects to industrial control devices , reads and writes data to the device, moves it over the industrial network and displays anywhere within the enterprise.
Starthis iTapestry is used to communicate with multiple standards based industrial network protocols including EtherNet/IP and Modbus/TCP. This facilitates communication with combinations of network protocols and disparate devices in the plant.
Starthis iTapestry moves data dynamically to and from the plant floor control devices, enterprise applications and also browser-based operator displays. Dynamic operator displays are created in the HMI builder. The resulting HMI Web applications uses real-time information exchange over a variety of automation networks. This information can be displayed in a browser window, anywhere within the enterprise, for use by anyone with authorization. The Java Server pages provide the tools to display data dynamically anywhere in the facility.
Ease of Deployment
Connect all your applications using a single API programming interface
Deployable in J2EE, standalone java or appliance product Saves money by eliminating additional plant floor hardware
The only factory automation middleware that is fully Java/J2EE compatible Fully SOA and SCADA compliant. Easily resides at a central location in the enterprise
Complete ready-to-use, real-time, solutions to all your factory-enterprise communications issues without the usual software compatibility problems of existing technology
Starthis' Loom provides users & integrators with vastly improved connectivity, better data usage, and faster application development
Loom effectively connects all your applications into one single efficient interface for more reliable and easier connections
Loom performs calls and usable methods to equipment (unlike the competition’s mere data “pulls and puts”). simplifying application development into single step programming steps to slash development and configuration time
Loom creates an intuitive programming structure to improve margins, increase efficiency, lower integration costs, enhances ROI, improve quality, making deployment faster and easier
