Is it possible to integrate ProSched with ERP or Plant Information System?
The purpose of an ERP or Plant Information System is to provide data to those needing it. As such technical integration of APS systems with data systems is usually straightforward. In many situations, interfacing an APS system to a data system is no harder than interfacing a spreadsheet to a data system. However, the data needed to feed an APS system sometimes is not present in a company information system. In these cases some provision must be made to update the information system Also companies must put policies in place specifying who should have access to data and who should be able to modify data. These issues must be resolved as part of the process of installing the APS system and are no different than the data policy issues companies regularly address.
