Technical Concept of an Integrated Environmental Information System – Case Study Volkswagen AG

Abstract

Data sources in industrial enterprises are often used in various tasks, and the amount of business tasks even increases. Consequently, integrated data processing systems are required, that get essential information from heterogeneous source systems and aggregate and process it according to existing requirements. The described concept of an integrated environmental information system represents a distributed integrated system and allows using standard systems as well as individual software for the modules. Besides the modules, that are isolated in view of the respective fields of environmental tasks, the system scenario contains “cross-functional” components. The concept is related to practise in connection with a case study at Volkswagen AG.
