EPC in ARIS and Prime Arch

Applications and infrastructure in EPC

Läs på svenska

EPC can show the technical support used by an activity. In this mapping, application system type, application system, software robot and attended software robot connect to Application (A21).

This provides a common entry into the application perspective. The source distinctions between a type, a concrete system and different forms of automation still need to be retained in the description. Several symbols pointing to A21 does not make those distinctions irrelevant.

IoT object connects to Infrastructure Equipment (IN31) in the illustration. Assess that connection against what the actual object represents. The illustration does not establish that every connected device is infrastructure equipment.

When reviewing an EPC diagram, start with the activity supported, then follow the application or infrastructure concept to its definition.
