Resource Tracking

InTrack™ 7.1

Product Position
Four years ago, Wonderware® introduced InTrack™ as the first Next-Generation
Manufacturing Execution System (MES). With the release of version 7.1, InTrack sets
an even higher standard for MES with superior levels of flexibility and robustness. The
focus of InTrack continues to be on manufacturing resource tracking, Work-in-Progress,
Inventory, Machines and Setpoints, and Quality Data. All of this functionality is
integrated with our legendary ease of use. Applications built with InTrack increase

facturing facility’s Key Performance Indicators (KPI). Through its graphical modeling

companies around the globe. These applications serve a wide range of vertical markets
including automotive and automotive component manufacturing, medical devices,
electronics, food and beverage, metals, fibers, and specialty materials. The bottom line
is that these manufacturers demand excellence in their manufacturing sites and InTrack
enables them to realize their goals.

InTrack has been employed to help plants produce tens of thousands of disk
drives per day. It has been used to manage the unit-specific production of
cars and trucks on several continents. InTrack helps ensure the safe and
efficient manufacture of contact lenses. It has been used to coordinate and
manage the production of automobile parts in a plant with many different
manufacturing processes. InTrack has been used to track the genealogy of
railway tracks for high-speed trains. It has been used to help manage the
manufacture of stamps, battery test strips and reflective traffic materials…
to name a few.

Features and Benefits


InTrack is designed to provide the most user-friendly tools to design and
interact with a model-based manufacturing system. Whether your process is
simple or complex, you can model it within ModelMaker, InTrack’s fully visual graphical
process modeler. InTrack offers a considerable amount of flexibility in the design and
architecture of user interface.

InTrack’s Integrated process model can link all facets of the manufacturing process
together from raw material tracking and WIP tracking though machine usage and
lot/part-specific data collection.

ModelMaker is a Graphical Modeling tool for defining and managing production/


process models. ModelMaker provides a set of manufacturing objects that are defined
through object selection, option selection and minimal InTrack employs an open database design that simpli-

matically and contains the model information as well
as the transactional data. While this model is opti-
mized “out of the box,” it is also extensible with
ModelMaker’s graphical configuration tools.

InTrack was the first MES product to support this


architecture. It has been running in plants around
the globe and has a proven track record with an
installed base of over 200 applications.
