Abstract:
1. A system for MES (Manufacturing Execution System) integration, comprising: a Web server; a first message encoder; a second message encoder; a first message controller coupling to a first MES server; and a second message controller coupling to a second MES server, wherein the Web server receives lot control data corresponding to a lot control operation to be performed in one MES server of a first MES server and a second MES server, selects one message encoder of the first and second message encoders contingent upon information indicating which MES server will perform the lot control operation and transmits the lot control data to the selected message encoder, the first message encoder encodes the lot control data in a first lot control message recognized by the first message controller when receiving the lot control data, the second message encoder encodes the lot control data in a second lot control message recognized by the second message controller when receiving the lot control data, the first message controller directs the first MES server to perform the lot control operation when receiving the first lot control message and the second message controller directs the second MES server to perform the lot control operation when receiving the second lot control message.
