This document specifies a Companion Specification for organic coating technology – material supply systems.

A material supply system in this context can be any existing or future material supply system. The implicit and explicit information model specified by the material supply system Companion Specification will be defined as a UA companion specification using OPC UA constructs for the purpose of exchanging material supply system information with OPC UA applications. It defines the required data structures, parameters, methods, state machines etc. for the communication among material supply systems, between material supply systems and supporting systems and from material supply systems into higher level manufacturing systems (e.g. Manufacturing Execution System, MES), for information and diagnostic purposes and to set parameters regarding the material supply system operation.
