This deployment option describes that a cutting tool client application synchronising manufacturing and measuring operations is running only on the tool manufacturing machine. The higher-level system client application uses the job management to facilitate the job management use case described in OPC 40001-3. It stores and retrieves the files representing the work masters to the tool manufacturing machine and measuring machine using the CuttingToolFileType as a work master. Furthermore, the client application running on the tool manufacturing machine facilitates the exchange of work master files between the tool manufacturing machine and measuring machine synchronizing the jobs being carried out. Alternatively, the synchronising client application could also run on the measuring machine.

The system architecture is shown schematically in Figure 10.
