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
  • 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.
