MES interface module
Database is a mandatory requirement with today's manufacturing needs. The MES interface module enables direct connectivity between the IT system database and the controller system, allowing production instruction and data collection.
Features<sup>Easy data utilization from database</sup>
- Easy data utilization
- Easy data sharing
- Data in the MES interface module can be stored in the database
- Data in the database can be easily visualized by the extensive compatibility with SCADA software GENESIS64™ and such, data analysis can be utilized for quality control
- Data in the database can be shared with the office as well as the production site, allowing people in different positions to check at the same time
Easy system configuration without a dedicated program
- Direct access to database
- Maintenance cost reduction
- The module enables direct connectivity between IT database servers and programmable controllers, eliminating the need for gateway computers or dedicated programs and simplifying the system configuration
- The MES interface module accesses the database server as a client, eliminating unnecessary poling and reducing the load to the network, programmable controller, and IT system
- Less hardware maintenance is required, reducing overall system cost as the module is robust even in the harsh industrial environments compared to computers
