Integration API's
REST – Provided through our API Portal with thorough documentation and self-testing features, the AIMSCO REST Web Services API supports comprehensive managed secure access. Bidirectional exchange gives read visibility to eCS definitions and historical data as well as the ability to write diverse result types to our repository. Applications include ERP connection, custom equipment data collection and external systems integration.
Automation Agents
Three types of automation agents provide comprehensive interoperation opportunities between the AIMSCO eCS application framework and equipment / external systems
Collectors
Unidirectional transfer from an automation endpoint (equipment, IOT, external system) to the AIMSCO eCS results repository.
- Typical applications: OPC line / environmental condition monitoring, weigh scales.
- Benefits: Improve data accuracy, enables discovery of relationships between results and inputs for machine learning.
Connectors
Bidirectional transfer, exchanging results and / or status information between an automation endpoint and the AIMSCO eCS repository.
- Typical applications: ERP interface for order details and options download, results / status upload; serialized label printing with unit-specific results data per label.
- Benefits: Minimize ERP licensing costs with user-friendly eCS front end; satisfy customer / compliance requirements for accurate line-side product labels and certificates.
Controllers
Bidirectional transfer between an automation endpoint and eCS repository with start-stop and other control interactions as well as results collection and eCS settings / options sending.
- Typical applications: Advanced equipment interfaces including testing, recipe management, material handling, feed forward / feed back.
- Benefits: Intelligent results optimization through adaptive line condition / equipment settings based on ML findings.
