Workflow Authoring Environment. Proficy Workflow typically does not require IT resources, and power users can make changes to the work process management system to immediately improve production.

ProficyWorkflow

Workflow Task Client. Workflows can involve basic tasks such as asking an operator to check tank levels every hour, to managing an entire production process, to orchestrating data transformations between ERP and MES.
