403-1 System, Distributing Pro-Joining-Sorting Inline – Operating instructions
8.6 MES
The MES can be used to plan products and work orders, which are written to an RFID tag using RFID
technology.
In the first station, the order number (ONo) and order position (OPos) are written to the RFID tag located in
the workpieces. The ONo and OPos are then read in the following stations. After they are read, a query
quoting the ONo and OPos is sent to the central MES system. The MES system then sends parameters for
the work steps to the station that sent the query.
Further information on the MES software can be found in the InfoPortal. The software is generally required
with the MPS System 403-1.
