Manufacturing Execution Module (MEM)

The Manufacturing Execution Module (MEM) Foundation Class is a 4-day, instructor-led course designed to provide participants with in depth understanding of how to develop and implement Wonderware InTrack solutions in an enterprise system environment. This course will provide the participant with an in-depth understanding of InTrack's automation capabilities by using OLE and ActiveX technology in customization of an applied business case (SRS Airbag).

The audience for this class is anyone within a manufacturing environment whose job function includes data retrieval from the plant floor (or anyone who supports that function), and will include (but is not limited to) Database Administrators, Process engineers, Control Engineers, Quality Engineers, Operators, Technical Support Representatives, etc.

Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:

Successfully configure the manufacturing database
Present and explain the MEM database schema
Show where Intrack fits into the enterprise system architecture
Understand how InTrack can solve business problems
Provide examples on how to customize MEM MMI
Use OLE Automation (including MEM ActiveX controls) to customize client applications
