Example medium-sized MES production system topology

The following diagram shows an example of a medium-size plant with MES and System Platform.

See Standard Hardware for a description of the load of a typical medium-size system. In this example, only the Plant Production Network is shown.

Note: Each production environment will vary based on many factors, starting with volume of ERP data and down to MES, then production execution, IO collection and triggers, to roll up and transfer back to ERP. This also varies by industry and the method of data collection (manual versus automated).
