英维思完成对Cimnet公司的收购

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.

英国伦敦7月2日消息——英维思今天宣布完成了对Cimnet公司，一家位于美国宾州制造执行系统（MES）软件公司的收购，本次收购现在已完全纳入英维思旗下的Wonderware软件事业部。根据2007年5月3日宣布的原定协议的条款，本次收购已经结束。

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 现有的业务将以Wonderware Factelligence 以及 Wonderware DNC Professional的品牌，继续为客户提供和改进产品以及服务。而且，收购的MES技术服务结合到英维思的开放工业标准所基于的ArchestrA技术，确保英维思和Wonderware在全球超过10万家工厂安装的大型项目可以快速部署和使用简单。

"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前首席执行官、现Wonderware MES /生产和绩效管理部副总裁John Richardson表示：“我们很兴奋可以成为英维思Wonderware事业部的一部分。Wonderware在业界保持着为客户提供一条连续通道以及易用的、持续创新的复杂软件解决方案的最好记录之一。我们充分相信我们过去和将来的客户将从Wonderware销售和支持渠道、第三方系统集成合作伙伴、技术合作伙伴以及全范围的实时工业软件解决方案获得更好的服务。“

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."

英维思Wonderware事业部高级总裁Mike Bradley补充道：”本次收购证明了英维思的业务良好状况以及我们成为MES和制造情报市场领导者的承诺。通过将Cimnet强大的生产模式和可配置的应用模块整合到ArchestrA工业服务导向架构(SOA)中，包括可扩展的ArchestrA工厂模式，我们充分相信可以更快提供我们客户更多的功能。我们的使命和战略仍然是不变的，那就是通过更多的模块化软件解决方案，帮助我们的客户在业务中快速地推进操作优点。客户可以大胆地利用现有的Wonderware系统平台、客户机程序、模块作为他们所有工业软件需求——从监控，到监控和数据采集 ，到制造执行系统，到制造情报和业务系统集成的基础。“

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.

既然英维思其他的事业部，例如英维思过程系统，正在利用ArchestrA工业服务导向架构，本次收购和合并的MES技术也将很快成为这些集成供应范围的一部分。这包括了世界上第一个企业控制系统InFusion在将来所提供的内容的一部分。“
