Hi Swati

MES (Manufacturing Execution System) undertands B2MML (Business to MAnufacturing Markup Language).

B2MML is defined As per ISA-95 standard.It have format for all type of business requirements like for production schedule, production response ,Maintenance etc.

So from MES side data comes in B2MML format and in xMII we have to convert this B2MML format in xMII XML format first than other BLS action can be applied.

For example we get Production Request in form of iDOC and using BLS transactions we can push data in B2MML format.

MES gets Production Request B2MML and generates Production Response from plant side and send back Production Response again in B2MML format to xMII.

I have done in this way.

Please let me know if you need more

Hi, Ram.

You might also want to consider the upcoming OAG implementation of S95 as well - very similar to B2MML.

Swati,

You have different MES systems and the integration scenerio depends on the MES system that you have chosen.

There a detailed thread on this, preferrably you have knowledge on MES this link will be very useful

Some MES systems are web ensbled and it is possible that you can receive information from them by web services...

Hope this helps,

Ajitha
