关于客户
DuPont is a multibillion-dollar corporation with 57,000 employees operating in more than 70 countries. Founded more than 200 years ago as a small gunpowder factory on the banks of Delaware’s Brandywine River, today, it offers a wide range of innovative products and services for markets including agriculture, nutrition, electronics, communications, and safety. DuPont Direct is a global e-commerce application that enables business partners to place orders, check order status, make inquiries, check accounts, and more – all in a secure environment on a 24/7 basis. The majority of DuPont IT back-end systems are SAP based, supporting DuPont IT’s diverse businesses and products.
挑战
DuPont, a global innovator with a complex IT infrastructure, sought to renew its corporate extranet, DuPont Direct, to make it easier for B2B users to do business with them. The challenge was to improve the infrastructure for an e-commerce application that enables web users to create and place orders, check order status, make queries, and check accounts in real time, all via a secure, high-performance environment. However, integrating these complex ERP systems with e-commerce applications often leads to labor-intensive coding projects and ongoing manual updates. DuPont IT infrastructure experts reviewed various types of integration software to connect its Sun Microsystems application server environment to its SAP R/3 applications.
解决方案
DuPont IT chose Business Process Automation (BPA) technology from iWay Software to simplify their integration strategy. The iWay BPA Suite includes the iWay Universal Adapter Framework and the iWay Service Manager, which significantly increase the speed, reach, and efficiency of SAP. DuPont IT selected iWay SAP Adapters because they leverage native SAP functionality and facilitate collaboration with both SAP and non-SAP data sources. iWay component/adapters include “smart” features such as automatic formatting, automatic error handling, and built in logic. Leveraging these technologies enabled DuPont IT to configure rather than code much of the BPA solution. The connection can then be reused across the entire operational environment.

Advanced Elastomer Systems Upgrades Production
In order to maintain its share of the international market for thermoplastic elastomers AES recently expanded its Florida plant by adding a new production line. While the existing lines were operating satisfactorily using a PROVOX distributed control system with traditional analog I/O, AES wanted advanced technology on the new line for greater economy, efficiency, and reliability. AES officials were anxious to get this line into production to meet incoming orders, but two hurricanes slowed construction.

Field Device Asset Management For Chemical Company in China
Chinese chemical subsidiary of multinational corporation serves customers throughout the world. Sales offices and research and technology centers are strategically located to provide rapid response to customer requests. Just two workers were assigned to maintain thousands of intelligent instruments in three production units, so they could do little more than react to device issues as they appeared. This costly maintenance method inevitably led to unexpected downtime when a critical instrument failed. Plant management recognized the need to change from reactive to predictive maintenance for all assets, including instruments and control valves, but help was needed in implementing such a technology-based initiative.

Industrial Workforce Mobility for Improved Safety & Operations
Huntsman Corporation, a global manufacturer and marketer of differentiated chemicals, undertook an aggressive program to eliminate injuries, product defects, and environmental releases at their Port Neches facility. Termed “Project Zero”, this program required a completely mobile solution to empower operations and maintenance personnel to capture defects, track work progress and make process and safety related decisions in real-time.
