Connecting machines to a Manufacturing Execution System (MES)

Connecting a machine to a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) is a key step in modernizing manufacturing processes. Through this connection, manufacturing data is collected, analyzed, and managed in real-time, resulting in a significant increase in production control and efficiency. The integration enables seamless communication between machines and the MES, which allows production processes to be better monitored and controlled. This results in faster response times to changes, optimized use of resources, and improved quality standards. Connecting a machine to an MES is a fundamental step on the way to the digitalization of manufacturing and the realization of Industry 4.0 principles.

There are a lot of MES on the market. The following is an excerpt of typical MES and their interfaces:

  • Siemens SIMATIC IT MES (e.g. OPC UA, MQTT)
  • Rockwell FactoryTalk ProductionCentre (e.g. OPC UA, OPC DA, OPC HDA, REST)
  • GE Digital Proficy MES (e.g. OPC UA, REST)
  • SAP Manufacturing Execution (ME) and Integration (MII) (e.g. OPC UA, OPC DA, HTTP/HTTPS and XML)
  • Wonderware MES (e.g. OPC UA, OPC DA, SOAP, REST)
  • MPDV Hydra MES (e.g. OPC UA, OPC DA, HTTP/HTTPS, Web-Services)
  • Apriso FlexNet (e.g. OPC UA, Web-Services, REST)
  • Critical Manufacturing MES (e.g. OPC UA, Web-Services, REST)
  • Camstar Enterprise Platform (e.g. OPC UA, Web-Services, REST)

Our services include:

  • Analysis and preparation (target definition, required data points)
  • Selection of the appropriate protocol/standard(e.g. OPC-UA, MTConnect, ModbusTCP, MQTT or REST)
  • Implementation of communication (configure interfaces and data acquisition in machine and MES, raw data transformation, protocol security, data encryption, data integrity)
  • Test and validation (technical test, target matching, acceptance)
  • Support (training, monitoring, maintenance, customization)

If you need support in selecting or converting a suitable MES, please do not hesitate to contact us. Together with our partners, we can also support you with this issue.

Connecting a machine to an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system is an important step towards increasing efficiency in companies. Through this integration, production data is seamlessly transferred to the central ERP system, resulting in improved planning, resource management, and reporting. The machine data makes it possible to accurately track production operations, update stock levels in real time and optimize processes. This connection between machines and the ERP system creates a transparent and well-coordinated environment that forms the basis for informed business decisions and efficient production.

Many different ERP systems are used in manufacturing companies. The following is an excerpt of typical ERP systems and their interfaces:

  • SAP ERP (e.g. SAP PI/PO, RESTful APIs)
  • Microsoft Dynamics 365 (e.g. via Microsoft Power Automate or Microsoft Common Data Service (CDS))
  • Infor ERP (e.g. Infor ION or Infor Mongoose)
  • Oracle ERP Cloud (e.g. Oracle Integration Cloud Service (ICS), REST, Oracle Data Integrator (ODI)
  • Abas ERP (e.g. abas Integration Server (aIS), REST)
  • ProAlpha ERP (e.g. REST, Web Services)
  • IFS Applications: (e.g. IFS Integration Framework, IFS Connect, IFS IoT Business Connector)
  • GUS-OS Suite (e.g. REST, OPC UA)

Our services include:

  • Analysis and preparation (target definition, required data points)
  • Selection of the appropriate protocol/standard(e.g. OPC-UA, MTConnect, ModbusTCP, MQTT or REST)
  • Implementation of communication (configuring interfaces and data acquisition in machine and ERP, raw data transformation, data mapping in ERP, protocol security, data encryption, data integrity)
  • Test and validation (technical test, target matching, acceptance)
  • Support (training, monitoring, maintenance, customization)
