Preethi,

Manufacturing Execution Systems bridge the gap between ERP systems and devices like PLC, SCADA and HMI in the shop floor. MES functions as the central depository for data distribution and collection for all other enterprise systems. It can act as a bridge connecting control systems, ERP, SCM and SSM systems.

There are different MES brands available in market.

MES uses B2MML schemas for interacting with xMII.You can view the reference schemas avialable in xMII for this purpose.The B2MML coming from MES will contain all the real time data from shop floor.

Integration with xMII greatly depends on the type of MES you use.

Go though the link below that will help you a lot in understanding MES-xMII integration

Hope this helps,
