All ORDINAL Technologies software developments relies from now on a single platform, covering all the aspects of MES (planning and control system of work orders, stock management, management of the products, tasks execution, traceability, performance analysis, reporting...) and SCADA. It’s COOX® platform (COOllaborative Operations & eXecution).
On the technical level, the COOX® plateform includes an open application server relying on JAVA Technologies and having high level services as the access security per profiles and qualification of the users, the transparent support of several data bases (Oracle, SQLServer, MySQL) with personnalized mechanisms of historisation, automatic filings multi-profiles archiving, audit trail FDA 21CFR11). It provides the access protocols to the equipment and peripherals, as well as directed environment component of modeling and personalization of the applications.
The COOX® platform offers a local or remote web access from any point of your Intranet network.
Benefits of COOX’s architecture
• No specific installation for the clients : a navigator (Plugin JAVA) is enough.
• Software updates are done only at the level of the server, what involves a greater flexibility and a reduction of costs of maintenance.
• Increased status of licenses by “floating licenses”: accounting of actually connected users.
Robustness of the system: strategy of management of failures
The study of the robustness of a system consists of knowing the answers of this system under nonnominal conditions of operation. These nonnominal conditions of operation can be translated either on the level of the system itself (failure of the material support of the system for example) or on the level of its entries. The robustness of a system is to be distinguished from its reliability, which rather measures its correct operation in time under nominal conditions. ORDINAL led an important program of innovation, cofinanced by the OSEO, intended for the improvement of the robustness of SCADA and MES systems. This work is integrated into COOX platform.
