PROFINET and Vertical Integration
The integration of automation systems, Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is gaining importance in company-wide, integrated information systems. While the interfaces between MES and ERP are defined in the context of the IEC 62264 specifications, until now there has been no specification for interfaces between MES and automation systems.
IEC 62264 divides MES into the following four operations: Maintenance Operations, Production Operations, Quality Operations, and Inventory Operations.
Since the topic of maintenance has great significance in both factory and process automation, Maintenance Operations should be supported first by PROFINET. The result is a corresponding document in which, among other things, the information content important for an MES interface is defined.
