8 Mobility Landscape
9 State of the Global Economy Economies around the world have become highly synchronized, driving ongoing evolution of the global manufacturing economy Much of Western Europe is in recession, and growth is slowing across the globe Manufacturers have become much more cautious over the past few months Global consumers are becoming more conservative as uncertainty persists Sales and profits of companies more oriented to U.S. are outperforming companies with a larger share of sales abroad
10 Manufacturers are being challenged We need to be even more efficient We need to reduce the decision cycle We need to put information in the right hands, at the right time The work day has been extended We need operators, maintenance staff, management to do this from anywhere, at anytime
11 Reducing decision time A 1-millisecond advantage in trading applications can be worth $100 million a year to a major brokerage firm, by one estimate. The fastest systems, running from traders' desks to exchange data centers, can execute transactions in a few milliseconds--so fast, in fact, that the physical distance between two computers processing a transaction can slow down how fast it happens. This problem is called data latency--delays measured in split seconds.
12 Mobility Landscape
13 The Landscape is changing
Where are we evolving to From: To: Subject: Tethered, centrally monitored systems, with many workers Non-wired, globally accessible systems, with fewer workers with increased production demands Do more with less
Where are we evolving to Automation has done a great job of getting us to this position, and will continue to do so It s Manufacturing Intelligence, combined with Mobile Solutions that will help make us reach our target
16 Mobility Landscape
17 Our Experience and Expectations We all have a smart phone or device We know what it is capable of doing You can Pay your bills Transfer funds Map your directions Monitor your favorite teams Read email Review stocks Watch TV
18 Mobility Landscape

20 is driving the demand for mobile solutions within our facilities
21 Mobile solutions provide the virtual tether to your systems
22 Some Challenges Various devices need access Not everything is designed or intended for every form factor Not every mobile OS supports all content or security models

24 Use Case Cellular Network o Third Party Network o Outside of the Firewall o No Credentials o No access to MI systems
25 Use Case Secure Wireless Environments o Corporate Wireless network o Within the Firewall o Domain Credentials o Access to MI systems
26 You had me at mobility Show me some examples
27 Use Case Get notified when events occur Trigger emails based on historical data changes Include information about trigger tag(s) any data source connected to FTVantagePoint Embed Associated Event Data Use HTML formatting
28 Use Case and attach reports to Notifications Run Excel reports and attach as PDFs
29 System Configuration Get notified when events occur New Service within v4.5 (Communication) Requires SMTP Server
30 System Configuration Get notified when events occur New Services within v4.5 (Eventing) Sources can include: Scheduled Events TextFile Changes Historical Tag Changes Actions can include: Generate a Report (Excel) Send an Email Execute an Operation ReportSets are groups of Excel reports that can be scheduled to run and attached to emails or made available in the model
31 Configuration Source Get notified when events occur Trigger can be one or many Historical Tags You determine the criteria
32 Configuration - Source Get notified when events occur How often Eventing checks for changes Enhanced Filtering
33 Configuration Source Event Data Get notified when events occur Capture other data as part of the event and use it within the Email
34 Configuration Source (Advanced) Get notified when events occur Eventing leverages StreamInsight and uses LINQ (Language Integrated Query)
35 Configuration - Action Get notified when events occur Use HTML tags to enhance the look and feel Embed URLs if the Users are local Event data within body of email
36 The end result
37 Get the most out of all your pixels Maximize your real-estate on smaller devices
38 Get the most out of all your pixels Remove the Menus Use to GetContent.aspx page to remove Menu
39 Get the most out of all your pixels Remove the Content Viewer Use to GetContent.aspx page with ShowBrowser=false switch
40 Get the most out of all your pixels Various Get commands to meet your needs GetTrend.aspx GetQuery.aspx GetReport.aspx GetContent.aspx Many optional parameters
41 Configuration within Model Folders are used to organize reports Sample reports are copied to folders On mobile devices you don t want users navigating deep models

52 Agenda Mobility Scenario for this Session The Mobility Landscape driving mobile MI What can FactoryTalk VantagePoint provide today Guidelines for consideration Wrap-up
53 Guidelines to consider Understand that in most cases, what you develop for a desktop application, is not suitable for small form factor devices
54 Guidelines to consider Maximize your real-estate Use the Get command (remove menus / content viewer) Users are not expecting the same experience they do on their desktops Links to content is better Group mobile friendly content in defined model views Performance is key Limit the amount of data being returned Focus on what is actionable
55 Guidelines to consider Know your requirements What decisions are your users trying to be make? Pick the report type that best suits your needs. The report you did in Excel for the desktop may not be suitable for the mobile device Develop your own types specific for mobile devices Develop your own app using the FactoryTalk VantagePoint EMI API
