The Advanced Wonderware Model-Driven MES Best Practices course is a 4-day, instructor-led class designed to provide an advanced overview of the Model-Driven Manufacturing Execution System (MES) framework and its associated best practices. The course will provide a comprehensive overview of the recommended best practices to be used in applying Workflow Management forms and workflows to Wonderware MES solutions. Topics will be presented in lectures and reinforced through hands-on exercises.
Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:
- Use advanced forms
- Design advanced workflows
- Describe the external components/environment
- Explain infrastructure options
- Create a new Model-Driven MES using MD Content and MD Core, while applying best practices
