Harry Merkin, Intellution's vice president of global marketing commented ``Our Intellution iHistorian enables the manufacturing execution system of Procter & Gamble and other manufacturing customers to gain a clear snapshot of their entire production process, share this information with business-level systems throughout the enterprise and retain all of the data in a powerful yet affordable way. We are proud to be part of a cutting-edge solution for Procter & Gamble and look forward to helping them further enhance the production standards that have become a hallmark of their success.'' The high speed, high performance iHistorian gathers manufacturing data from literally thousands of points throughout a production facility. IHistorian acts both as a permanent repository for this information and as a hub to which a diverse array of applications can be connected. Downtime monitoring, asset utilization and other analysis tools all require the real-time data housed within iHistorian to perform their tasks. IHistorian employs the open, distributed architecture built-in to all of Intellution's offerings, enabling it to link to virtually any third-party MES application or automation infrastructure.
