Integration of MES and Batch-Systems with InfoCarrier® BOXI

Integration of MES and Batch-Systems with InfoCarrier® BOXI

The integration of batch and MES is a key success factor for modern production processes. However, differing data models and communication logics – parameter-based MES messages on one hand, real-time tags in the PLS on the other – make rapid and error-free implementation difficult. This is exactly where InfoCarrier® BOXI comes in, creating a common language between the systems and revolutionizing the way systems communicate with one another.

As a modular, high-performance interface hub, InfoCarrier® BOXI significantly reduces integration effort and establishes a common language between MES, batch, and other systems. Standardized interfaces and pre-built best-practice workflows enable the fast and reliable implementation of typical use cases – from automated batch creation to reading and writing parameters. At the same time, individual processes can be flexibly mapped using workflow engines. The result: significantly fewer manual interventions, noticeably reduced error rates, and an integration process characterized by speed, agility, and future-proofing.

Another advantage: Once the information to be exchanged has been defined, InfoCarrier® BOXI enables extensive decoupling of system design. This accelerates modeling, creates transparency, and sustainably reduces project effort.

Technical Implementation

InfoCarrier® BOXI supports the exchange of the following data categories, among others:

  • Batch ID, product and material data
  • Recipe information
  • Process parameters and setpoints
  • Production approvals
  • Process and measurement values (time- or event-driven)
  • Production and step results
  • Audit trail entries
  • GMP-relevant exceptions such as alarm messages

Conclusion

InfoCarrier® BOXI efficiently integrates batch and MES systems, ensuring faster project planning and commissioning. At the same time, manual tasks are reduced and potential sources of error are inimized, resulting in higher quality. The modular system allows the integration of systems using various protocols. This enables existing systems to be equipped with future-proof IT interfaces.

Thanks to many years of experience in machine and plant integration, we combine process expertise with interface knowhow. Custom-designed connectors are developed on an individual, solution-oriented basis as needed. With InfoCarrier® BOXI, SpiraTec underscores its expertise in digital system integration and sets new standards for standardized, future-proof MES interfaces in the life sciences industry.
