Not two factory floors or supply chain networks are alike. Moreover, they need to adapt rapidly to new customer requirements. The OMNITROL Network was designed to deliver customer specific business processes leveraging smart infrastructures. In order to enable the rapid deployment and customization of your operations and supply chain visibility solutions, Omnitrol Networks has developed a powerful Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) toolkit . The OMNITROL Service Creation Environment delivers these advanced services through a high-level state-driven programming language called Service Description Language (SDL). As the language suggests the end-user only focuses on the business needs by describing the business workflow and SDL does the rest, including the integration of the smart infrastructure devices.

Rapid development, no downtime for upgrades or changes

Your operations and supply chain networks are mission critical. You need to make changes quickly without interrupting the current flow. The OMNITROL Network architecture allows you to deploy new incremental services without impacting existing ones. Select or customize one of the hundreds of existing building blocks and simply deploy it as an “Edgelet”.
