Connect is the equipment and system integration module. Using the international standard AAS (IEC 63278) and industrial protocols, it converts floor data into a standard format so any machine connects to the OS.
A different protocol per machine, a different format per vendor. Connected, but meaningless — the tags pile up, and no one knows which value came from which machine.
A project integrating an existing ERP such as K-System ERP into the ontology is in progress.
