Direct connection enables SCADA and ERP systems to work in unison

摘要

Copa-Data calls MES applications into question with its certified interface to SAP ERP. Manufacturing execution systems (MES) are used in many production facilities as the link between process automation and enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems. What used to be an integral part of many industrial systems now becomes a questionably unnecessary cost factor; at least for those who are using SAP applications and controlling their production with zenon. Copa-Data has now created a direct connection: an SAP-certified bidirectional interface now connects SCADA with ERP. zenon and SAP ERP work in unison to take over the tasks that used to be performed by separate MES products or by manually transferring data.
