Integrating Real time communication tools with real time systems

There is an excellent video on how Wonderware integrated Office Communication framework around Application Server.

Kind of integration they achieved is remarkable. Watch video at link below to have glimpse on how it is done. It is quite evident from this video that social collaboration infrastructures when integrated with real-time systems bring lot of value proposition to plant floor. As dependency on various communication means (like mobile phones, messengers, micro blogging) is increasing to achieve a task, clean and neat integration among these tools brings feature richness to solution offering.

We tend to record events and alarms from the system. We even archive them for many years. Most this information is captured out of systems. But with each event, humans operating systems share and discuss lot of information. Interleaving conversations with system generated events makes up a wealth of information. Further this information can be fed to data mining systems to bring out lot of interesting facts which can be used for improvements, optimizations etc.
