Hello IFS Community,

I am in charge of a project to get OEE in real time from the machine and pass that information to IFS Cloud I’ve heard that I need the Manufacturing Execution Module my question is there any example on how to connect either PLC or OPC UA server to IFS Cloud I know is thru RESTFUL API but I would need and example on how to do it. 

 

Thanks

Raul

Once you have passed it to IFS Cloud, what are you going to do with the data? 

 

One starting point could be this: IFS Connected Factory - Crosser Edge Analytics Solutions - Technical Documentation For IFS Cloud

Or have a look at “Observations” in IFS Cloud.

There was a mention of connecting to OPC-UA tags when IFS acquired Falkonry AI.

 

Best results are to run the tags through a database via Kepware EX, then use REST API for IFS updates when you need to.
