Describe the event, or combination of events, that will trigger the Workflow to execute 4. Define the conditional process logic that will dictate the appropriate types of actions 5. Identify recipients, and what data they require to make the correct decisions and complete their tasks

Discrete Control Batch Control Continuous Control 1 - Sensing the production process, manipulating the production process 2 - Monitoring, supervisory control and automated control of the production process 3 - Workflow / recipe control, stepping the process through states to produce the desired end products. Maintaining records and optimizing the production process. Time Frame Shifts, hours, minutes, seconds 4 - Establishing the basic plant schedule - production, material use, delivery, and shipping. Determining inventory levels. Time Frame Months, weeks, days, shifts Middleware Type Transformations and Orchestration Production Transformations Engineering and Spec Changes Corrective Action Maintenance Task Management Digitized Work Instructions Task Execution Station-Level Control Manual Data Entry Alarm Analysis and Action Mfg Intelligence Data Condition Monitoring

20. ©2009 GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms All Rights Reserved Alarm Corrective Action – Fix production faster and gain greater visibility - Workflows automatically send tasks to people or other systems to correct for alarms Rapid development of Digitized Work Instructions with Validated Entry - Ensure production complies with defined processes Eliminate Scripting for Defining Processes, Using Proficy Workflow instead - Approximately 30-50% faster than HMI scripting, and easier to maintain Adding Value to Any HMI System

21. ©2009 GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms All Rights Reserved Automate the process of Engineering Spec Changes - Changes are routed for approval and ensures everyone knows about critical changes Exception Management / Event Triggered Corrective Action Workflow - Take action only as needed, improve response time & record corrective actions Event Triggered QA Sampling Request - Digitize your QA plan, distribute sampling tasks across the plant and ensure compliance Enhance maintenance systems with work order workflows and EAM integration Eliminate scripting languages; achieve faster, broader development with workflows Adding Value to Any MES System

22. ©2009 GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms All Rights Reserved Adding Value to Any ERP System Fully utilize your ERP – Workflow uses production and ERP data to drive processes Use Workflows to collect data from users and equipment, and push into your ERP Workflows orchestrate ERP and production data exchange based on real-time events Workflow tasks bridge across information and functional silos within ERP Workflow improves inventory by managing material usage at a more granular level Workflow drives process visibility – know where orders are at in the plant – right now

23. ©2009 GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms All Rights Reserved Other Workflow Use Examples Manual Instructions for equipment cleaning, then change state of machine readiness within the workflow General tasks as workflows, better than email requests, trackable Workflow managing engineering changes Workflow managing site recipe -> master recipe -> control recipe Electronic Job Router, process a shop order end-to-end, route through workcenters, download CNC programs and provide setup information
