MES / Machine (IoT) Integration Connector

Your PLCs, OPC-UA servers, and MES already count every part, log every stoppage, and read every sensor. Yet operators still key that data into Business Central by hand — late, incomplete, and impossible to trust for OEE. The MES / Machine (IoT) Integration Connector closes that gap with a purpose-built AL extension that ingests machine signals and posts them directly against your production orders.

ECOSIRE designs the connector around your actual shop floor. We map machine tags (output counts, downtime/state codes, scrap, temperature, vibration, cycle time) to your routing operations and Production Order / Operation lines, then deliver a per-tenant AL extension installed on your Business Central environment. No data leaves through screenshots or spreadsheets again.

How the data flows

A lightweight edge gateway reads your PLC/OPC-UA or MES endpoints and pushes normalized payloads to Business Central's REST/OData v4 API (or via a custom AL API page). Event subscribers validate and post output to Output Journals, register downtime against configurable reason codes, and surface anomaly and OEE feeds. A job queue entry reconciles buffered signals, so a brief network drop never loses a count. Mapping, polling cadence, and tag-to-operation rules live in setup tables and pages you control — no code change to retune the line.

Honest delivery model

This is build-to-order, not an instant AppSource download. After purchase, ECOSIRE scopes your machine signals and tag list, builds the extension, installs it per-tenant (sandbox first, then production), configures permission sets and the job queue, and validates against live machine data with your team. Optional Dataverse / Power Platform bridging lets the same telemetry feed Power BI and Power Apps.
