Acting as a single point of ERP communication for all GEA Codex® modules, this unit uses a small-footprint, XML-based interface to exchange information with various external systems, including non-ERP ones
GEA Codex® Enterprise Connect provides seamless integration between the operations department and the factory floor manufacturing system. Production orders and bills of materials (BOMs) can be downloaded to the control system from the customer’s ERP system. In addition, real-time updates on material stock levels and item production numbers can be sent to the ERP system.
GEA Codex® Enterprise Connect provides an interconnected business-to-automation environment that functions as a manufacturing execution system (MES)-level broker and delivers multifunctional data for a variety of applications.
