EMC Converter: Reliable Data Exchange Between ERP and Shop Floor

Incompatible data formats and missing interfaces between ERP systems and production often result in manual corrections and data loss. The EMC Converter module seamlessly links corporate management with the shop floor: master data for production orders, articles, personnel, containers, and tooling is transferred to the shop floor using freely configurable parameters. In return, all actual performance data, output counts, and operational times recorded on the shop floor flow back into the ERP system in real time.

This ensures consistent data integrity across all departments – whether reporting stroke counts and tool life in metal forming, or providing precise material usage and batch tracking feedback in wire processing.

File Interface

Two files are defined for data import and data export.

Database Interface

One database table each is defined for import and export in separate interface tables.

WEB-REST Interface

Communication between the ERP and EMC converter takes place via an HTTP protocol.

The reliable data exchange works independently of the respective ERP system. All common systems such as SAP, SAP Middleware, Atos, Microsoft Dynamics, etc. are seamlessly compatible with the EMC Converter module and the MES Software EMC.
