PolyOne Corporation (a merger of The Geon & MAHanna Companies) has under taken an aggressive plan, dubbed projectOne, to move its businesses to a common business platform (SAP R/3 4.6C). Several of the implementations over the past year (Vinyl Compound, Color, & Elastomers) have involved integration with Shop Floor systems. The presentation will provide a look at the implementations, where we have used RLINK as our integration tool, highlighting our design approach and some of the unique issues that we have had to address.
