20 MES Interface Function
20.1 Overview
Overview
• The V8 series supports the MES interface function.
MES: Manufacturing Execution System
MES provides information necessary to optimize the production activities (about quality,
yield, time of delivery, cost, etc.) throughout processes from order receipt until the
completion of products. Based on real-time information obtained from the shop floor, MES
serves as a bridge linking management and production, in order to help improve the
management of a manufacturer.
• The MES interface function enables the V8 to add data to, search, and delete data from
databases.
Production control from the computer in the office is made simple by using real-time production
information transmitted from the factory to the databases.
• The V8 sends commands to the V-Server in the computer connected via Ethernet. The V-Server
sends the commands in SQL statements to ODBC, and ODBC accesses the database.
