“…In addition, even though there is a need to exchange data between manufacturing engineering and the shop-floor itself (e.g. the bill of material list, manufacturing instructions, control programs or possible nonconformances) [15], it is surprising to observe that industrial information systems supporting production innovation and their interactions with MES have been largely ignored in the automation pyramid. Computer-aided engineering (CAE) or product life cycle management (PLM) are such systems.…”

Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) are at the heart of industrial organizations' endeavors. While MES were traditionally positioned as an integration technology to bridge the shop-floor with higher level business systems, their current focus seems to be on the digitization of shop-floor activities for the collection, analysis and exchange of real-time information. Still, there remains dispute on the role of MES, specifically with respect to the functions they support in relation to other information systems in the automation pyramid, and their resulting interactions with humans. While MES are often positioned as the top layer of automated control of manufacturing processes, it is perceived by others as an integrated decision support system for the shop-floor. This study aims to shed light on the role of MES to either automate or to augment human tasks. Based on insights of a case study, we found that MES are neither automatic control nor solely decision support. MES' main role is the creation and maintenance of digital twins of products. This involves human interaction, which closely resembles work related to computer-aided engineering (CAE) systems. We expect that work in the sphere of MES will therefore increasingly resemble engineering work.

“…Therefore PLM-MES integration becomes more and more required in these kinds of architectures. The general framework of data exchange among PLM, ERP and MES systems is shown in Figure 8 [12]. …”

“…In this context, we identified the data to be exchanged between PLM and MES. By focusing on the product manufacturing, there are five data categories that have been identified [12]: Items data: CAD model, plans, BOM, manufacturing process, work instructions and machine setup. These data have to be communicated to the MES from PLM.…”

Today, within the global Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) approach, success of design, industrialization and production activities depends on the ability to improve interaction between information systems that handle such activities. Enterprises deploy mainly PLM system, Enterprise Resource Planning system (ERP) and Manufacturing Execution System (MES) in order to manage sufficient product-related information and provide better customer-products.This paper proposes a methodological approach to integrate product data generated during product design, industrialization and production. This involves the PLM and MES integration. Thus, the proposed approach aims to overcome the problem of data heterogeneity by proposing a mediation system resolving syntactic and semantic conflicts.

This paper proposes a methodological approach to improve the quality of data exchanged between engineering and production. This involves the integration among information systems especially the PLM-MES integration. Thus, the proposed approach aims to overcome the problem of data heterogeneity by proposing a mediation system resolving syntactic and semantic conflicts of data managed by these systems.
