Automation & Intelligent Production Management Market Survey Key Issues Facing Plant Manager Plant managers typically spend 50% of their time on production issues This is the area also where GE Fanuc is focused Look at this diagram, it shows us that most of the plant managers spend their time with improving production capabilities The question was We have the answer: 1700 Plant Managers Surveyed Source: Industry Week Worldwide focus on improving production capability

Automation & Intelligent Production Management Open and Layered… All Data All Networks ALL Controllers All HMI/SCADA Works with All Data Sources All Historians Proficy is an open and layered solution. We believe it is very important for our products to work as well together as with third party products. Because the reality today is that you live in a multi-vendor environment. So we have an “embrace and extend” philosophy where we will “embrace” the assets you have now and “extend” their value by bringing new capabilities to them. So with Controllers and OI, if you are already using our controllers, they work with others via standard network and published interface standards. Our standard HMI/SCADA software works fantastic with our controllers or anyone of our competitors. Our Historian works with all HMI/SCADA products. Our performance & execution applications work with any historian. Our Real Time Information Portal can aggregate information from all data sources, both real-time & historical. So no matter what brands you have installed we can tie into that data source and add more value to them, extending their usefulness.

Introducing PACSystems™ - the Enabling Technology

Independent Analysis “The PLC has evolved by incorporating open standard interfaces, multi-domain functionality, distributed modular architectures, and modern software capabilities integrated as turnkey automation solutions. The label "PLC" simply understates the capability of current automation systems. “As a new generation of functional capabilities pervades the market the more apt notion of Programmable Automation Controllers (PAC) will displace its predecessor. PACs augment the function and role of the traditional PLC by defining new capabilities for the next generation PLC. This PAC concept will play a major role in plant and factory automation in the future.“ Craig Resnick Director of Research ARC Advisory Group As you can see this new control will replace the traditional one dimensional control.

Multi-Functional Controller Platforms Multi-domain functionality – discrete, process, motion, HMI on a single platform Deploy multiple control applications on a single platform Common development platform Open, modular control architectures that enable highly distributed automated factory environments Standards for network interfaces, languages, etc., allowing data exchange as part of multi-vendor systems The answer is a new type of control. Built on standards, multi- function, open, and flexible. Connecting Factory Floor Operations With Business Systems
