英維思完成對Cimnet公司的收購

London, UK - July 2, 2007 - Invensys today announced that it has completed the acquisition of Cimnet, Inc, a Manufacturing Execution System ("MES") software company based in Pennsylvania, USA, and this acquisition is now being fully integrated into the Wonderware software business unit of Invensys. This acquisition has closed under the terms of the original agreement that was announced on May 3, 2007.

英國倫敦7月2日消息——英維思今天宣布完成了對Cimnet公司，一家位于美國賓州制造執行系統（MES）軟件公司的收購，本次收購現在已完全納入英維思旗下的Wonderware軟件事業部。根據2007年5月3日宣布的原定協議的條款，本次收購已經結束。

Existing Cimnet offerings will continue to be made available and enhanced for customers under the Wonderware Factelligence and the Wonderware DNC Professional brands. In addition, the acquired MES technology offerings are being integrated with Invensys' open industry standard based, ArchestrA technology, to ensure rapid deployment and ease of use by the large Invensys and Wonderware installed base of over 100,000 plants around the world.

Cimnet 現有的業務將以Wonderware Factelligence 以及 Wonderware DNC Professional的品牌，繼續為客戶提供和改進產品以及服務。而且，收購的MES技術服務結合到英維思的開放工業標準所基于的ArchestrA技術，確保英維思和Wonderware在全球超過10萬家工廠安裝的大型項目可以快速部署和使用簡單。

"We are very excited to be a part of the Wonderware business unit of Invensys", said John Richardson, former CEO of Cimnet and Vice President of MES / Production & Performance Management for Wonderware. "Wonderware has one of the best track records in industry for providing a continuous path forward for customers, and for constantly innovating with sophisticated software solutions that are easy to use. We are very confident that our past and future customers will be even better served by the depth and breadth of the Wonderware sales and support channel, 3rd party systems integration partners, technology partners, and the full range of real-time, industrial software solutions."

Cimnet前首席執行官、現Wonderware MES /生產和績效管理部副總裁John Richardson表示：“我們很興奮可以成為英維思Wonderware事業部的一部分。Wonderware在業界保持著為客戶提供一條連續通道以及易用的、持續創新的復雜軟件解決方案的最好記錄之一。我們充分相信我們過去和將來的客戶將從Wonderware銷售和支持渠道、第三方系統集成合作伙伴、技術合作伙伴以及全范圍的實時工業軟件解決方案獲得更好的服務。“

Mike Bradley, Sr., president of the Wonderware business unit of Invensys added, "This acquisition exemplifies Invensys' business health, and our commitment to being a leader in the MES and Manufacturing Intelligence market space. By integrating the powerful production model and configurable application modules from Cimnet, into the ArchestrA industrial services oriented architecture (SOA), including the extensible ArchestrA plant model, we fully expect to accelerate the delivery of even more functionality to our customers. Our mission and strategy remains unchanged - to help our customers to rapidly drive operational excellence in their businesses with incremental, modular software solutions. Customers can be confident in moving forward with the existing Wonderware System Platform, Clients and Modules as the basis for all of their industrial software needs - from Supervisory, to SCADA, to MES, to Manufacturing Intelligence and Business Systems Integration."

英維思Wonderware事業部高級總裁Mike Bradley補充道：”本次收購證明了英維思的業務良好狀況以及我們成為MES和制造情報市場領導者的承諾。通過將Cimnet強大的生產模式和可配置的應用模塊整合到ArchestrA工業服務導向架構(SOA)中，包括可擴展的ArchestrA工廠模式，我們充分相信可以更快提供我們客戶更多的功能。我們的使命和戰略仍然是不變的，那就是通過更多的模塊化軟件解決方案，幫助我們的客戶在業務中快速地推進操作優點。客戶可以大膽地利用現有的Wonderware系統平臺、客戶機程序、模塊作為他們所有工業軟件需求——從監控，到監控和數據采集 ，到制造執行系統，到制造情報和業務系統集成的基礎。“

Since other Invensys business units, such as Invensys Process Systems, are utilizing the ArchestrA industrial SOA, the merged MES technologies resulting from this acquisition will rapidly become part of those integrated offerings as well. This includes future offerings as part of InFusion, the world's first Enterprise Control System.

既然英維思其他的事業部，例如英維思過程系統，正在利用ArchestrA工業服務導向架構，本次收購和合并的MES技術也將很快成為這些集成供應范圍的一部分。這包括了世界上第一個企業控制系統InFusion在將來所提供的內容的一部分。“
