Abstract

An interactive data processing system and/or method is a management tool for a manufacturing plant including a shop floor control system. A server contains a data engine for extracting data, a load and transform data unit, and a database management storage unit. Data from the shop floor control system is supplied to the data engine in the server. The data engine can run the shop floor control system. The data engine supplies data received from the shop floor control system to the load and transform data unit. The load and transform data unit supplies data to the database management storage unit where the data is stored in a disk storage unit in storage space allocated to a conventional database management system employed for the purpose of management of data. The database management storage unit supplies data to an interactive graphic user interface.
