As One Technologies developed its Catalyst SDP ™ suite of products to address the challenges found in manufacturing operations and to provide a common platform to unify systems. With open connectivity to a wide variety of manufacturing assets and systems and the ability to simply and easily assemble and distribute the logic required to interpret and respond to meaningful events, Catalyst SDP ™ is the key to unleashing efficiency.

Catalyst xM™ addresses the need for automated and standardized exception event handling within manufacturing operations. It ensures compliance to standard operating procedures by automating critical event detection and execution of Action Plans. Action Plans are the logical sequence of actions manufacturers define to optimally respond to the occurrence of an exception event or, or in the case of persistent, error-proofing Action Plans, upon the occurrence of an indicator that prevents an exception event. Catalyst xM™ Action Plans are comprised of fully automated actions, logical elements, and user-driven actions so users can participate in Action Plans, as required, through an intuitive web portal (i.e. Microsoft SharePoint).

Catalyst PDC™ is a context-aware data historian built on As One's Catalyst Platform.  Designed to function seamlessly with the full suite of Catalyst products, Catalyst PDC provides distributed, real-time data collection and storage in addition to a comprehensive data analysis tool.

Catalyst™ Basic Training is a free hands on 2 hour WebEx that we run every Thursday from noon to 2:00pm central time (or we can organize a custom time for groups of three or more). The goal of the session is to allow attendees to quickly experience Catalyst development and get exposure to some of the most commonly used agents and concepts. The examples are fairly simple and do not require a development skill set to complete (although a beginner level understanding of software development is helpful). To sign up just send an email to catalyst@as1tech.com stating that you would like to arrange a time to participate. Before attending the training we ask that you download Catalyst™ and complete the first of the six training examples from below.

Capital Ideas for the Times - This paper was written for business leaders now faced with the extremely difficult operating challenges thrust at them by today's economy. The bombardment of economic news we receive each day requires little more to be said about the severity of the 2009 economic "Tsunami." This global economic downturn has senior managers re-evaluating operational strategies from "A" to "Z." So, the intended audience for this paper is those executives and managers in manufacturing businesses that are looking for additional preemptive moves in the face of this storm. We hope our "Capital Ideas" are of solid assistance.

Compressed Air Control System - In this case study we will discuss how one automotive assembly plant used Catalyst™ to increase the reliablility of their overall compressed air system while reducing the energy cost by 45%.

Inline Metrology System - This semiconductor manufacturer was scrapping too many wafers late in their recording head production process. Catalyst™ was used to enable an inline metrology step with the primary purpose of identifying indicators of scrap at a step where rework was still an option, therefore reducing scrap costs dramatically.

Pump Monitoring System - Catalyst™ enabled this customer to utilize an internal team of one senior level IT resource and one intern to do all of the development for the system. In addition one hardware specialist was used to support the team at deployment time. This small project team was a key to controlling project cost and allowed the development effort to be nimble and responsive to changing requirements.

Target Maintenance Tracker - The manual processes used to collect usage data for over 200 machines and monitor the maintenance schedules are time intensive and error prone, leading to lost productivity for engineers and a higher-than-necessary scrap rate on machines that are overdue for maintenance.
