MII Architecture

[former_member329434]

Hi Friends,

Our client has around 10 plants running with their shop-floor systems . We are expecting tags of max 800 from the shop-floor systems into MII system..

would it be recommended to have SAP MII server at each location or One central MII server at a corporate office will be sufficient? please share your thoughts.

Thanks & Regards,

Suman

Without knowing more of your situation, it is difficult to determine an architecture.  If you are managing the plants using reports/dashboards from MII, then I would recommend an MII server installed locally at each plant.  If you are using MII reports for monitoring plant performance from the corporate office, then you may be fine with a single central installation. 

These are just general suggestions and should be balanced against your specific needs.  The number of tags is important, but you do not mention the frequency of data retrieval and what is done with the data.  Network loading is sometimes an issue to consider as well (you may want to process the data locally at the plants and then send a chart or result set to the central installation).
