Tags:
erp

Overview NOVA Chemicals Corporation (NOVA) is moving toward increasing integration between the plant floor and executive suite. This move provides visibility for operators and manufacturing vice presidents alike by supplying role-based access to real-time information ? enabling them to adapt to operations, which maximizes corporate profitability. NOVA took one step closer to that vision by implementing the SAP xApp Manufacturing Integration and Intelligence (SAP xMII) composite application and Model Predictive Intelligence (MPI) software from Pavilion Technologies Inc. SAP xMII enables connections from the SAP ERP application to the plant in real time. This, in turn, provides NOVA with the ability to collect, analyze, and deliver information in usable form to the appropriate point on the production floor or across the enterprise.
