Integration of MES and Batch-Systems with InfoCarrier^® BOXI

Integrating MES and Batch Systems with InfoCarrier^® BOXI

The integration of MES and batch systems is essential for efficient, digital production processes. However, differences in data models and communication logic – such as MES messages and real-time tags in the distributed control system (DCS) – often make fast, error-free implementation difficult.

The Solution: Efficient Interface Integration

With InfoCarrier^® BOXI, we address this challenge directly:
As a powerful, modular interface hub, the platform establishes a unified communication framework for MES, batch systems, and other applications.

Benefits at a Glance

• Reduced integration effort through standardized interfaces
• Fast implementation with best-practice workflows
• Flexible workflows for specific process requirements
• Less manual intervention and lower error rates
• High visibility and scalability

Faster Projects & Lasting Efficiency

Common use cases – such as automated batch creation or reading and writing parameters – can be implemented quickly and reliably.
By defining the data to be exchanged just once, InfoCarrier^® BOXI also enables decoupled system engineering. This accelerates implementation, reduces project effort, and delivers long-term efficiency.

Efficient MES and Batch Integration with InfoCarrier^® BOXI

InfoCarrier^® BOXI enables efficient integration of MES and batch systems and significantly faster engineering and commissioning. At the same time, manual processes are reduced and potential sources of error are minimized – improving quality and process reliability.
The modular system supports connectivity for a wide variety of equipment and industrial communication protocols. This makes it possible to equip existing facilities (brownfield) with modern, future-proof IT interfaces.
Drawing on our years of expertise in machine and plant integration, we combine in-depth process knowledge with extensive interface expertise.
When needed, we develop custom connectors tailored precisely to your requirements – for flexible, efficient, and sustainable solutions.
With InfoCarrier^® BOXI, we reinforce our leading role in digital system integration. The solution sets new standards for standardized, scalable MES connectivity– particularly in the life sciences industry.

Technical Implementation

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

Batch ID, product and material data
