MES system

Hi everybody,
What is thye use of a MES system and how is it integrated with xMII?
Thanks,
Preethi

Preethi,
Manufacturing Execution Systems bridge the gap between ERP systems and devices like PLC, SCADA and HMI in the shop floor. MES functions as the central depository for data distribution and collection for all other enterprise systems. It can act as a bridge connecting control systems, ERP, SCM and SSM systems.
There are different MES brands available in market.
MES uses B2MML schemas for interacting with xMII.You can view the reference schemas avialable in xMII for this purpose.The B2MML coming from MES will contain all the real time data from shop floor.
Integration with xMII greatly depends on the type of MES you use.
Go though the link below that will help you a lot in understanding MES-xMII integration
xMII-MES integration
Hope this helps,

  • Using UDS with remote MES systems

    Hi,
    Is there MES system  to connect remotely for using UDS/UDC?
    I want to install UDS and connect it to MII. But i have no MES system to define in UDS.
    has SAP-Waldorf MES systems (Emerson, Matrikon, Citect, Wonderware..etc.) to connect remotely and get current and historical data to use in MII?
    Thanks.

    You have be very cautious in your definition of what an "MES" system is.  A vendor such as Rockwell, Emerson, Siemens, GE or Invensys/Wonderware has many software products, some of which are traditional "MES" solutions (track and trace, production dispatching, routing, etc.) and many of which are SCADA/HMI solutions for controlling/monitoring equipment, and some are process historians for collecting time series and alarm/event data from production activities.  All of these are very different things and require different methods for integration (and varying levels of transformation to their data to provide meaningful business insights).  You could use the simulator to emulate the SCADA/HMI systems and, to a lesser degree, the process historians.  You can also use a relational database along with the "OpenConnector" in MII to simulate a process historian using data stored in RDBMS tables.  You can use tables in a relational database containing material usage and order data to emulate a traditional "MES" systems.

  • Sending PM notifications from MES to SAP R/3 PM

    Hi
    can any body throw some lights on how to send PM notifications created by production team in MES system to SAP R/3?after that order will be created in SAP reference to MES notification received in SAP.

    Hi,
    The key to your problem is to understand how to exchange data with the MES. Does it support ISA95/B2MML? Is there a SQL interface? Can you exchange data via Flat File or XML?  How about OPC?
    If the MES supports OPC then you should take a look at this web site: http://www.opc-to-sap.com
    If the MES supports B2MML, XML, SQL or Flat File then you should take a look at this web site: http://www.mes-to-sap.com
    Hope this helps.

  • MES Interface Development (Standard IDOC-MATMAS enriched with Z-Fields)

    Hello Everyone,
    We have an issue that we want to sent IDOC data to our local MES System. The XML Target Structure of the MES System is given and cannot be changed.
    Most of the fields to be sent are in the MATMAS IDOC but some fields need to be enriched with material classification data which are maintained for each material individually in the ERP. To retrieve the data out of ERP we using the u201CBAPI_OBJCL_GETDETAILu201D. Here we perform an iteration about all these fields to read the classification description and the associated characteristic value. Sometimes it can happen that not for each material the value are maintained and then we are getting blank values
    Now I coming back to my main questions.
    The target structure of the MES XML File is given and need basically just two core segments from MATMAS IDOC.
    E1MARAM SEGMENT="1"     -> Key fields needed: Material Number, MEINH, EAN Number etc.
    E1MAKTM SEGMENT="1"     -> Key fields needed:: Material Description
    The n- Classifcation field need to be listed directly under the segment E1MARM Segment. So the target structure need to be dynamically built with these n Z Field under den Segment with the following structure.
    E1MARAM SEGMENT="1"     Material Number, MEINH, EAN Number etc.
    1
    u2026<ZL161AUSPM SEGMENT="1">
                    <ATNAM>MGBEZ_</ATNAM>
                    <ATWRT>Galenical Bulk Prod.</ATWRT>
    ..</ZL161AUSPM>
    n
    E1MAKTM SEGMENT="1"      Material Description
    As stated out above the information from the classification data are filled in an internal table (XML document with several Row)
    Questions:
    How do I get the information from the internal XML Document into such ZL161AUSPM structure. Shall I rename the rows in the XML Document from Row to <ATMAN>? And how is this possible? I assume that I cannot change the row name in an "MII XML Document"
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <Rowsets DateCreated="2009-09-04T14:24:58" EndDate="2009-08-31T14:43:13" StartDate="2009-08-31T14:43:13" Version="12.0.6 Build(12)"><Rowset><Columns><Column Description="CHARACT" MaxRange="1" MinRange="0" Name="CHARACT" SQLDataType="1" SourceColumn="CHARACT"/><Column Description="CHARACT_DESCR" MaxRange="1" MinRange="0" Name="CHARACT_DESCR" SQLDataType="1" SourceColumn="CHARACT_DESCR"/><Column Description="VALUE_NEUTRAL" MaxRange="1" MinRange="0" Name="VALUE_NEUTRAL" SQLDataType="1" SourceColumn="VALUE_NEUTRAL"/></Columns><Row><CHARACT>CH0_MES_01</CHARACT><CHARACT_DESCR>CH0_MES_01</CHARACT_DESCR><VALUE_NEUTRAL>AT</VALUE_NEUTRAL></Row><Row><CHARACT>CH0_MES_16</CHARACT><CHARACT_DESCR>CH0_MES_16</CHARACT_DESCR><VALUE_NEUTRAL>AAI-WC</VALUE_NEUTRAL></Row><Row><CHARACT>CH0_MES_01</CHARACT><CHARACT_DESCR>CH0_MES_01</CHARACT_DESCR><VALUE_NEUTRAL>AT</VALUE_NEUTRAL></Row><Row><CHARACT>CH0_MES_05</CHARACT><CHARACT_DESCR>CH0_MES_05</CHARACT_DESCR><VALUE_NEUTRAL>10000.0</VALUE_NEUTRAL></Row></Rowset></Rowsets
    How do I get the dynamically the structure under the E1MARAM SEGMENT="1"? with n u2013 integration? This mean if the material has been assigned three characteristic then I need three time the structure under the segment u201CE1MARAMu201D
    Is someone experienced with interface development of such Z-Message respectively has someone an idea or guideline to dealt with such issues?

    Markus,
    it is a bit difficult to get the structure from your post, but when I get it right you need to add new nodes in a predefined xml structure.
    Did you have a look at the Link editor action "Data Item" from the SAP xMII XML Output? You can define a name and value and add it to a given xml structure. A problem might be the target xml if it is not an IlluminatorDocument (which is of kind /Rowsets / Rowset / Row).
    If this does not work, you may try to build Local xml structures for all your Z fields, and append those xmls to your target, using the Link Editor Append XML function.

  • Material Master data transfer to external system

    Dear All,
    We are creating the Interface between SAP and MES system for transfering the material master. The plan is to use the standard Idoc type/message type i.e is MATMAS05.
    I have done basic settings like defining parnters, port, partner profile etcc. and trying to trigger the IDoc using transaction code POIM. I am getting a message called " "0 Idocs were generated (According to the selection and filter)". I could not findout why system is throwing this message.
    Please help in this issue.
    Regards,
    Senthilraja

    Thanks Uwe,
    I tried to create IDoc with BD10 for material master and I am getting two error msg as below.
    Msg one
    1 master IDocs set up for message type MATMAS
    then Msg two
    0 communication IDoc(s) generated for message type MATMAS
    Is it able to get why this msg is comng and no IDoc's were generated..

  • SAP PPPI-MES Z characteristic question

    I have a requirement to create some z characteristics to be send to our MES system through control recipe/process order. Those Z characteristics are pretty simple, for example I need to read a field in MARA for the header material, read duration of a phase etc..
    I did my home work on sdn and found out that if the logic is simple then I can just use the table and field (not function exit) in the characteristic definition (o27c). Here is my question
    I need to assign a field in MARA of my header material to the Z char value that I have created. for example lets say I need to populate MARA - FEVOR. I have included this field in the table-field of the Z char in o27c transaction. This z char is assigned to ZORD_1 which is copy of AORD_1. standard chars in ZORD_1 are material number,order quantity, resource etc.. There is no plant or order number in this PI category. so how will system figure out howw to pick the FEVOR value and assign it to the characterictic? FEVOR is plant specific and I might have different value for different plants. will system pick the right plant? if so how will it piuck as I dont see any plant or process order characteriscitc in the zord_1 or aord_1 PI category.
    Thx

  • PCo integration with MII and MES

    Hi,
    How is PCo placed in MII and ME Achitecture. Can PCo directly connects to Shopl floor systems? and how it is connected to MES system. IS this something like Shop floor>PCo->MII->ME->ERP?
    Can someone please make me understand?
    Thanks,
    Raveen

    Hi,
    as per my knowledge MII helps to interface between MES (if it is installed) and ERP.
    if we consider levels then
    all the PLCs are in level 1.
    all the scada,Historian are in level 2,
    MES and database in level 3,
    and ERP in level 4.
    MII is between level 3 and level 4,
    it helps to interface this two level.
    as I know PCO can configured with MII. PCO help to create that connectivity between the tag value coming from the scada historian system and MII.

  • MES and SAP interfacing

    Hi
    Has anybody done interfacing with any MES system?
    What will be the requirement from SAP side ,we have to give to MES system.

    I haven't specifically handled this type of system, but in general the Business Process that you are trying to capture utilizing the same would drive the needs for mapping and translation.

  • MII -- MES Integration

    Hi,
    We have a situation where MES System is Integrated to Shopfloor devices such as Sensor's, PLC's and HMI's and they have the Database where they gone a save the captured data and MII needs to read that data and capture them in dashboards, till here I am able to understand but how the data flow will be if ERP is sending the downstream data to MES and then MES sends the confirmations to ERP, I mean how database can be used in such scenario.
    Thanks,
    Raveen

    Hi ,
    Which MES you are using in your shopfloor.if it is SAP ME then we will store data in WIP database which is SAP ME database then you can send to SAP or get it from SAP.
    Thanks,

  • Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint during sending NCCode to system

    MES system is: (6.0.4.22)
    External software is sending NCData to MES system and sometimes gets error:"Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK__BC_JMSQU__3F9FE7012CDE6A9D'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'SAPEL1DB.BC_JMSQUEUE'. The duplicate key value is (36, 26015261174081363, 3500000000000000001)"
    I provide client machine log with data details in file: "client device.txt"
    and default trace part in file: "default_trace.txt"

    Hi!
    You might be using NC Codes with Message Type assigned or you turned on RTW for NC. Please check if disabling these features makes any change.
    Also you can play with "Enable SFC Complete JMS Message" system rule.

  • MES without PP

    Hello,
    ENAFOR is Drilling Company and member of the International Association of Drilling Contractors its operational division on two main activities are the Drilling and Work-Over, (in addition to the maintenance activity Petroleum and support activities such as Transport of its machine).
    We use SAP since 2005 and implement MM, PM, SD, FI, CO, PS and HR modules , our rigs have a lot of machines (drill of well  ) and each one has its software system such as RIG SENSE , MUD WATCH SYSTEM ,E-MUD SYSTEM,MU-SHO,,,
    Our objective is build a control room for remote control our rigs on real time, and we think about SAP-MES.
    Our question is, can we use MES ( manufacturing execution system ) without PP (product planning) system implementation?
    Because we drill wells to our customers and go to other well of other costumers of Oil and Gaz company.
    Knowing that, we have 48 rigs across the country.
    Please help.

    Hi Sergiy
    So,  We have to implement PP modules before MES system.?

  • UDS,MES,OPC ,xMII servers?

    Hi Gurus,
    I am little confused about positioning for these servers in any landscape.
    Any body please explain about these severs and the sequence of where to subscribe these servers.
    what i know ( may be incorrect ) : xmii uses specific uds to connect MES system (ihistorian for example ) .MES uses opc driver or server to communicate with plc's to collect data.
    Please help.
    Thanks
    Vansi

    Hi Vansi,
    OPC is a communication standard.  Equipment such as a PLC or a DCS may have a corresponding OPC Server (providied by equipment vendor or provided by third-party).  OPC Server allows an external system to communicate via the OPC standard.  The OPC server communicates with the PLC / DCS in a proprietary language.
    Historians such as iHistorian, can communicate with OPC servers.  They may also be able to communicate with the PLC / DCS directly.
    One of the possible UDSes for xMII is the OPC UDS.  xMII communicates with the UDS in xMII proprietary language.  The UDS communicates with the OPC server in OPC standard.  The server communicates with the PLC / DCS in its proprietary language.
    If you have a Historian in the middle, one possible scenario is as follows:
    xMII communicates with the UDS (OPC / OSI PI) in xMII proprietary language.  The UDS communicates with the Historian (with appropriate protocol - OPC / OSI PI).  The Historian communicates with the OPC server in OPC standard.  The OPC server communicates with the PLC / DCS in its proprietary language.
    Hope this helps,
    Cheers,
    Jai.

  • BTO,BTS,CTO and ETO Manufacturing Scenarios impacting MES or not?????????

    Hii Everyone...Wish u all a very happy new year 2011.CAn u all pls help me get some informations on different manufacturing startegies and regarding the same my query is mentioned below:-
    How does different manufacturing Scenarios like BTO,BTS,CTO and ETO impact implimentation of MES system.
    How is the interface of MES with ERP,LIMS,PDS,PLM,Equipments and SCM,CRM systems.Whether the interafce changes considering the scenarios like ETO,BTO,BTS,CTO.

    Hi KRajiv,
    I would say that either of those production strategies can be maintained in SAP ME solution, however, this tool is responsible for technical implementaion of the strategy rather then for its design. So, you will not find a document with step-by-step instructions for each of those strategies with pointing to difference between them.
    Currently, SAP ME has interface with ERP only.
    I would suggest that you consult "Business Scenario Description SAP ME 5.2" available on SMP:

  • Creation of Production order in Past dates using RFC

    Hi all,
    I am using RFC to Create a production order based on the datas available from MES systems.Here the process flow is From MES system datas are passed to interface in file format then from interface will calll the RFC so that the RFC will do the function of Creating the Production order & release in SAP.
    Here i face an issue that i have 3 shifts at the end of every shift i have to tranfer the datas from MES to SAP .Which means i have to create 3 Production orders for a day.My issue here is the third shift datas will be availble for me in the next day morning after that only i am able to transfer theses datas to SAP.In this case i want the SAP to create th Production order  for third shift in the Previous day time.
    Ashift - 7AM t0 3PM
    BShift-3PM to 11PM
    CShift-11 PM to Next day morning 7 AM
    I need SAP to create Production order for Shift C on 11 PM of the Previous day when i transfer it on next day morning 7AM.
    Is this possible.
    Thanks in Advance,
    MBN

    Hi,
    I mean the Production Created date as the basic date only.
    My requirement is for the C shift i will get the output from the MES on the next day morning.After that i wwill transfer the production datas to SAP throgh Interface at that time i need the basic start date & time  of the production order to be the C shift starting time that is previous day night 11.00 PM.
    Eg.
    C shift  date 12.04.2010 night 11PM to 7AM
    i transfer the c shift production datas from MES to SAP on 13/04/2010 Morning 7AM.But i want these datas to create basic start date & time of the production order on 12/04/2010  11PM.
    What should be done to get these.
