Connect MES and ERP data across the manufacturing process
Accevo manufacturing system integration connects MES with ERP, SAP, WMS, APS, CMMS, QMS and other factory systems. It synchronizes master data, production orders and shop-floor results through controlled inbound and outbound interfaces, reducing duplicate reporting and keeping each system responsible for the right data.
Build a reliable MES-ERP integration around factory workflows
Define which system owns each data object, when information moves and how errors are handled. Accevo supports the complete exchange from production preparation to confirmed results.
Receive production data
Send items, BOMs, routings, orders, schedules and dictionaries from ERP or SAP to MES.
Execute on the shop floor
Use synchronized data in operator workflows, production reporting, quality and maintenance processes.
Return confirmed results
Send quantities, defects, timestamps, equipment and operator context back to ERP or another system.
Key benefits of manufacturing system integration
Eliminate double entry
Replace repeated manual reporting in MES and ERP with a controlled data interface.
Keep data consistent
Maintain one owner for each object and synchronize approved changes across connected systems.
Improve traceability
Connect production orders, material definitions and shop-floor results through common identifiers.
Control inbound and outbound MES interfaces
Map the data flow, validate each exchange and keep failed messages visible.
01
Define ownership
Assign each data object to its source system and agree identifiers, formats and update rules.
02
Exchange and validate
Transfer data through the selected interface and check structure, required fields and business rules.
03
Use the data
Make approved master data and orders available to MES workflows without copying them manually.
04
Confirm or resend
Return production results, log interface status and resend failed messages after correction.
Choose an integration method that fits your IT landscape
Accevo supports modern APIs and web services as well as established industrial integration methods. The final design depends on system capabilities, transaction volume, latency and security requirements.
Web services and APIs
Exchange structured data in real time or on an agreed schedule through secured services.
SAP RFC
Connect SAP and MES through Remote Function Call interfaces where RFC fits the customer architecture.
Database and files
Use an intermediate database or controlled XML, CSV and Excel exchange for legacy environments.
MES-ERP data mapped to ISA-95 levels
ISA-95 provides a useful boundary between business planning and manufacturing operations. Accevo maps the practical data flows between these layers without forcing every factory into one interface pattern.
- ERP to MES: items, BOMs, routings, orders, schedules and dictionaries
- MES to ERP: produced and rejected quantities, reasons, operators and timestamps
- MES to CMMS: failures, equipment context and status changes
- CMMS to MES: maintenance completion and permission to resume production
- Message logging, validation and resend for controlled operation
Connect MES with ERP, SAP and factory systems
Use a defined integration layer for production, maintenance, warehouse and quality data.

Interface monitoring
Monitor every integration transaction
Give IT and production teams a shared view of data exchange health and unresolved interface errors.
- Interface status: See successful, pending and failed messages by system, interface and period.
- Data validation: Identify missing fields, invalid references and rejected records before they disrupt execution.
- Resend history: Correct the source issue, resend the message and keep a timestamped audit trail.
Plan your MES-ERP integration
Review the systems, owners, data objects, transaction volumes and security constraints involved in your project. Accevo will map the inbound and outbound interfaces and propose an integration approach for SAP, ERP and connected factory systems.
MES-ERP integration - FAQ
MES-ERP integration exchanges planning and master data from ERP with execution and production-result data from MES. It removes duplicate entry and keeps both systems aligned around the same production orders and identifiers.
Typical inbound data includes items, BOMs, routings, production orders, planned dates, equipment assignments and defect or failure dictionaries. The exact scope depends on which system owns each object.
A production report can include the order and operation, equipment, good and rejected quantities, defect reasons, operator identifier and start and finish timestamps.
Yes. Accevo supports SAP MES integration using methods such as RFC, web services, APIs, databases or files, depending on the SAP landscape and project requirements.
Options include web services, APIs, SAP RFC, intermediate databases and controlled XML, CSV or Excel files. Accevo selects the method with the customer based on capability, security and timing requirements.
Messages are validated and logged. Failed transactions remain visible so the underlying issue can be corrected and the exchange resent with a recorded history.
