With version 2.0, the Pavilion8 platform has new modeling capabilities, enhanced Web service integration and a new metadata warehouse. In addition, two new Pavilion8-based applications—Real-time Environmental Management and Production Performance Management—will now complement the existing process optimization and control applications. These Pavilion applications enable manufacturers to improve operational profitability by increasing production capacity, reducing production costs, improving product quality and reducing environmental risk, Pavilion says.First introduced in 2005, Pavilion8 is a modular software platform based on a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) and implemented in Java2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE).
