Integration with ERP, PLM, IoT platforms, equipment and other third-party systems.

**Post here if…**

- You are wiring CM MES to another system — SAP, Oracle, Windchill, edge gateways, etc.
- Your question is about equipment integration protocol choice, message reliability, or data mapping across systems.

**Don’t post here if…**

- The question is purely about a custom code artifact → Extensibility.

**Confidentiality — anonymise your examples**

Do not name customers, sites, or products in your posts. Replace real identifiers with placeholders such as “Customer A”, “Fab 1”, “Product X”, or “Partner Y”. This includes screenshots, code, configuration, and logs. Exception: if you are the customer sharing your own example, or you have explicit written approval from the party being named. Moderators will edit or hide posts that expose confidential information.

**Format**

Support and discussion (question and accepted answer). Mark a reply as the solution once it resolves your question.

**Example good topics**

- Real-time integration with SAP — pattern and pitfalls
- Reliable message delivery from equipment to CM MES
- OPC UA client best practices for a legacy fab
