Manufacturing Execution System (MES)

A Manufacturing Execution System (MES) enable two-way IoT communication of manufacturing business information between IFS Cloud and machines in the production facility. This can enable a new level of insight, control and efficiency in the production system. IFS Cloud can be used as a standalone MES solution or integrated with third party systems.

A common practice is to use a integration platform as a intermediate communication broker. The platform can have multiple functions. For instance it can act as: a network load balancer, a network security layer or bridge, a IoT address repository, IT protocol converter and Machine Language Translator.

Permission Set and Service Account

The MANUF_EXECUTION permission set contains the permissions required to use the MES projections. Set up a IAM client connected to a service account user with this permission sets. Make sure that the service account is set up on the required company and site.
