• The report design and display work area on the right.
When you click an item in the Report Explorer, the specified
RSBizWare report appears in this area. The work area is a
region where report designers can create and modify reports.
The plant model is made up of activity areas - enterprises, sites, areas,
lines, and workcells - as well as of equipment and labor resources.
The activity areas are based on the terms defined by the Instrument
Society of America (ISA) S95 standard in order to provide common
terminology for improved communication and integration between
control systems and enterprise systems.
Item Description
Workcell A location and/or group of equipment used to perform work in a
manufacturing process. The operations in a manufacturing process
are performed at workcells. A workcell is typically a physical
location and a primary resource (e.g., a machine); however, it may
also represent a logical grouping of primary resources from which a
selection is made.
Line A collection of one or more workcells that are combined to perform
work. The workcells in a line are either physically located close to
one another, or are related to one another in the production process
(the production result of the first workcell in a line feeds the second
workcell in the line).
Area A physical, geographical, or logical grouping of lines and/or
workcells within a site, typically representing a main production
capability (e.g., electronic assembly) within a manufacturing
location.
Site A group of areas, lines, and workcells representing a geographical
location at which products are manufactured.
Enterprise The highest-level activity area, typically representing the business.
