Modern production environments are closely networked today with the existing IT landscape of the enterprise. Interfaces to Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems supply orders and master data; lab information systems (LIMS) place lab data at disposal and company own IT applications form the basis for enterprise-specific processes. Such a system landscape might find itself in a sensitive balance owing to its complexity and must not be disturbed if all enterprise processes are to run successfully. It is even more important that special attention is given to a safe and long-term integration of the system when the MES is introduced.
One of the strong points of the ISYS ® MES lies in its connectivity, i.e. its ability to interract with other systems. The basis for this is the consistent use of current communication-standards (web services, SSIS) and the most modern IT technologies.
Your existing systems (e.g., SAP, Navision, Baan, abas â_¦) are bilingually connected by our configureable transfer manager with ISYS ®. In addition to that, other applications and enterprise areas can be made available by means of the web services MES functionality. These technologies, our extensive know-how of interfaces as well as the provision of a safe accessibility of your automation level via e.g. OPC server, give you the preferences of a consistent, mutual flow of information, starting from the strategic level and going as far as the â_zShop Floor ".
