Use Cases and Deployment Scope
The application is used in many applications in our manufacturing sites. The business is to manage integration between real time applications, in the automation environment and manufacturing execution systems. Many different applications have to talk to each other in real time, sometimes more than one has to listen to the same message, so you need a system that allows this without stealing messages from each other. Also with TIBCO Messaging it is possible to have strongly typed payloads, making apps more robust.
Pros and Cons
  • Fault tolerance.
  • Load balancing.
  • Large API support.
  • Speed
  • Reliability
  • Native json support.
  • Native web API.
  • Http management site is poor.
  • The daemon monitoring is basic, especially if the problems are network related, more logs would be very useful.
Likelihood to Recommend
Despite some old features, it is very robust for a 24/7 uptime needed application. Factory automation continuity is a critical part of our site. Moreover there are lot of applications that must talk to each other and so integration is a key point. With Tibco Enterprise Message Service the environment can be very flexible and robust. It is very important to plan the architecture of the configuration well by deciding on standards that are shared among all developers so that we have reference points during development and especially in case of debugging or problems.
Return on Investment
  • Using Tibco Messaging is undoubtedly a major licensing investment.
  • Applications are not super easy to migrate from other buses that is not comparable to TIBCO / Jakarta systems in terms of software architecture.
  • The robustness of Tibco Messaging guarantees the robustness of the applications that use it, obviously with regard to the integration part (listening/sending messages)
  • The development of new applications is very rapid in integrating with the existing world, code is completely reused for bus connection and especially payload decoding.
Alternatives Considered
TIBCO Enterprise Message Service serves as a "barebone" service in our environment. Some applications use TIBCO Rendezvous, others EMS. This allowed us to evaluate the differences and I saw that EMS is more robust and open to different programming languages. In particular, the integration with Java was a plus point. However, TIBCO provides a compatible mode to allow Rendezvous and Messaging applications to continue to communicate with each other. another point in favor of EMS is definitely the support for .NET Core technologies, which Rendezvous does not support, and this poses a limitation both for new developments and for retaining key resources and finding young talents.
Other Software Used
TIBCO Products Used
  • TIBCO BusinessWorks
  • TIBCO Enterprise Message Service
  • TIBCO Rendezvous
Tasks Accomplished
TIBCO products, in their combination, are essential for the integration of real-time manufacturing production systems. tens of thousands of messages per second pass over the TIBCO network, and the speed and robustness of the environment is critical to enable the factory to function properly. The main task is to carry instructions to equipment, monitor it, save data, solving business continuity and readiness issues.
Business Impact
TIBCO EMS allowed me to send and receive messages between different applications, enabling me to communicate more effectively with my users. The reliability and scalability of the software allowed me to communicate with the different applications also used by end users in real time, improving their satisfaction and overall experience. TIBCO Rendezvous, on the other hand, allowed me to build a more robust and reliable communication network. The software's multicast capabilities allowed me to communicate with multiple clients simultaneously, improving my efficiency and reducing communication costs. Overall, I consider TIBCO EMS and TIBCO Rendezvous to be critical to my business. They have enabled me to build a more reliable and efficient communication network, improving my internal customers satisfaction and overall experience.
Deployment
we use TIBCO products "on promises" and not in the cloud. the deployment is not super easy in fact you have to plan the installation steps very well while following the guide.the architecture is fundamental, you have to think it well to succeed in the installation but especially in the maintenance.
Flexibility
As an analyst I have utilized TIBCO's range of technology and deployment options to great effect. The software's flexibility has enabled me to tailor my real time programs to meet the unique needs of each of an high technology advanced factory. Additionally, the software's deployment options have allowed me to integrate TIBCO's solutions seamlessly into my existing workflows, improving my efficiency and overall productivity. Overall, TIBCO's solutions have had a significant impact on my business, enabling me to provide my users with a more robust and efficient automation experience while improving my own productivity and efficiency.
Reliability and Strength
The speed of transport and execution of tibco products is definitely one of the main reasons for our choice, as well as being one of the layers already used by many fundamental applications. we have never had any problems with slowness unless caused by external, hardware or network causes. It is like an orchestra, and tibco is the director.
Users and Roles
20
They are programmer analysts who are part of the manufacturing execution system, automation and data reporting teams and represent the business functions of the IT teams serving the factory. they are mission critical to manufacturing, they need components to ensure reliability, speed, real time like a bus to integrate very different systems.
Support Headcount Required
6
Out of 20 developers we have 5-6 people dedicated to the architecture, monitoring and internal training of TIBCO Messaging. The most important skills are definitely related to problem solving, Tibco Messaging being a highly distributed application and therefore inherently complex to debug. Network and Java skills are also very important to speed up analysys.
Business Processes Supported
  • Central Business Integration
  • Manufacturing Execution System reliability
  • Automation integration with different real time systems for Out of Control Action Plans
Innovative Uses
  • Move to web apps from legacy ones
  • Extensive and practical use of non-regression (QA environments can listen to PROD messages)
  • ignore operating system differences between old and new applications due to EMS compatibility
Future Planned Uses
  • Improve application monitoring systems using EMS messages.
  • Creating automatic non-regression tests by listening to production messages and playing them back modified
  • Switch several apps to mobile due to compatibility of EMS
Likelihood to Renew
8
EMS is a solid system and I see no reason to abandon it, in fact I am eager to see what the next versions will offer and future road maps. Knowing we have support to help us in case of problems is invaluable, both in case of critical issues and to improve overall performance.
Training Types Used
  • in-person training
The best part of the training was to know what works better versus what is not advised to use. The exercises were very useful and the teacher was really an expert. The good part was to take the course as a workshop to analyze our own environment in order to improve it.
