MES (Manufacturing Execution System) interface solutions
MES IT MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC EUROPE

Designed as an enterprise connectivity interface, the MES IT module uses deviceWISE technology from ILS Technology to bridge the traditional gap between the factory and the higher-level business systems, enabling bi-directional data communication from the production floor to the enterprise IT systems. Eliminating all middleware and gateway PCs, the MES IT provides a simple solution for controller-level direct database access, easing integration effort, reducing overhead costs and eliminating points of potential failure.
SAP manufacturing and ERP applications offer the promise of enhanced enterprise productivity and insight. Now with simple connectivity between higher-level systems and the plant floor, manufacturers can easily implement more comprehensive solutions. Improved overall connectivity and real-time access to production data deliver the potential to realize far more productive and efficient processes. With SAP solutions connectivity through the MES IT module, there is no need for any intermediate PC infrastructure as part of the interface between the plant floor controllers and IT systems. This simplifies integration issues, and significantly reduces cost of ownership. The MES IT simply mounts in any spare slot on a Q Series controller backplane, providing an industrially hardened architecture immune to typical PC reliability issues. Data is transferred to and from higher-level systems over a high speed Ethernet connection.
SAP solutions connectivity is the latest in a string of proven and successful connectivity options offered by the MES IT module. Other options include connectivity to SQL, DB2 and Oracle database systems, and to several messaging Services.
