• The MES controls the flow of parts via
  • OPC UA
  • PLCs and their fieldbus interfaces (if available)
  • The MES/PLC sends the product/part identification (e.g. VIN), joining program and start signal via
  • OPC UA
  • Fieldbus
  • The joining system performs the joining operation.
  • The MES systems receive the (extensive) joining result via OPC UA, including the joint identification.
