System and Method for Workflow Integration
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- a computer system;
an at least one memory;
a first application stored in the at least one memory that, when executed by the computer system,automatically executes a workflow that receives a first input from a human machine interface (HMI) in a first plant, in response to the first input generates a first event that assigns a first task associated to a first functional role performed at the first plant, receives a second input associated with the first task, in response to the second input generates a second event that assigns a second task associated to a second functional role performed at an office separate from the first plant, receives a third input associated with the second task, in response to the third input transmits information to the human machine interface that changes the process mediated by the human machine interface in the first plant.

Abstract
A system is provided. The system comprises a computer system, an at least one memory; and a first application stored in the at least one memory. When executed by the computer system, the first application automatically executes a workflow that receives a first input from a human machine interface (HMI) in a first plant, in response to the first input generates a first event that assigns a first task associated to a first functional role performed at the first plant, receives a second input associated with the first task, in response to the second input generates a second event that assigns a second task associated to a second functional role, receives a third input associated with the second task, in response to the third input transmits information to the human machine interface that changes the process mediated by the human machine interface in the first plant.

8. A method of managing a workflow, comprising:
-
receiving a first input from a human machine interface (HMI) in a first plant; in response to the first input, generating a first event that launches a first task, wherein the first task is assigned to a first functional role associated with the first plant; receiving a second input associated with the first task; in response to the second input, generating a second event that launches a second task, wherein the second task is assigned to a second functional role associated with an office separate from the first plant; receiving a third input associated with the second task; and in response to the third input, transmitting information to the human machine interface that affects a process in the first plant mediated by the human machine interface. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method of managing a workflow, comprising:
-
automatically receiving a notification of a first task to be completed in a first interface associated with a first application, the first task being a portion of a first workflow managed by a business process management application executed on a first computer system and the first task assigned to a first role; presenting a first plurality of information items about the first task in the first interface, wherein the first plurality of information items is selected from a second plurality of information items about the first task based on the first role and wherein the second plurality of information items comprises the first plurality of information items and other information items not comprised in the first plurality of information items; receiving a first input related to the first task from the first interface; in response to the first input, sending notification of a second task to be completed to a second interface associated with a second application, the second task being a portion of the first workflow managed by the business process management application and the second task assigned to a second role; presenting a third plurality of information items about the first task in the second interface, wherein the third plurality of information items is selected from the second plurality of information items based on the second role, wherein the second plurality of information items comprises the third plurality of information items and other items not comprised in the third plurality of information items, and wherein the first plurality of information items and the third plurality of information items are not identical; receiving a second input related to the second task; and completing the workflow. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
