Industrial standards are cornerstones

ISA-95
MEScontrol.net is based on the industrial ISA-95 standard for the development of Manufacturing Execution Systems. That is why, MEScontrol.net is fit for use in large and small production plants and supports discrete, batch and continuous process environments. ISA-95 defines the terminology and the models for the integration of administrative business systems with automation systems on the shop-floor.

B2MML
B2MML (business-to-manufacturing markup language) provides standard protocols and interfacing to streamline information exchange between ERP and MES about product definitions, scheduling, production capacity, etc. B2MML is supported by all major ERP suppliers, like SAP, Baan, Oracle, JD Edwards and Microsoft.

OPC
The OPC standard (OLE for Process Control) specifies the communication of real-time plant data between control devices from different manufacturers. MEScontrol.net exchanges data with OPC-compliant equipment and software, without the need for specific drivers and interfaces. OPC is supported by most suppliers of industrial hardware and software, like label printers, barcode scanners, RFID and measuring devices, weighing scales, packing equipment, PLCs and SCADA software.
