Connect PLM, ERP and MES into One Digital Thread
Integration between core enterprise systems reduces cost, decreases rework and streamlines workflows. We connect Siemens Opcenter with Teamcenter, SAP, Oracle and the shop floor.
PLM, ERP and MES working as one
All three are vital to effective manufacturing, and the ability to integrate seamlessly between them can make or break a company.
Product lifecycle management (PLM)
Manages a product from inception through engineering design and manufacture to service and disposal, providing the product information backbone for the enterprise.
Enterprise resource planning (ERP)
Plans and executes business processes such as accounting, purchasing, inventory and supply chain. Choosing systems with strong integration capabilities keeps them viable for the future.
Manufacturing execution (MES)
Monitors, tracks, documents and controls production from raw materials to finished goods, including work instructions, routings and genealogy: the basis of a digital twin.
Integration platforms we work with
We choose the right tool for each interface: Siemens-native integration, low-code platforms or cloud iPaaS, and often combine them.
Teamcenter Gateway (Active Integration)
The Active Integration product suite provides a collaborative framework between Teamcenter and other enterprise systems, with full bi-directional information exchange so the right data is available anywhere in the enterprise.
- Gateways such as T4S and T4S4 (SAP), T4O (Oracle), T4EA (enterprise applications), T4CEP and FN4T (Opcenter)
- Transfer parts, documents, changes, all types of BOMs and bills of process
- Bi-directional synchronization between enterprise applications
- Full administration tooling, scalable for enterprise needs
MOM Connect (Opcenter Connect MOM)
Siemens’ integration layer for the Opcenter portfolio. MOM Connect expedites central deployment to tightly connect business and manufacturing systems, consolidating Opcenter connectivity to reduce project effort and risk.
- Connects Opcenter with ERP, PLM, shop-floor devices and cloud intelligence
- End-to-end message processing, monitoring and diagnosis
- Automatic data normalization and standardization
- Scalable components with high-availability support
eQube integration
eQ Technologic’s eQube platform provides low-code integration, data migration and analytics across PLM, ERP and MES. It is widely used around Teamcenter to connect engineering data with the rest of the enterprise and to migrate data from legacy systems.
- PLM-to-ERP and PLM-to-MES integration without heavy custom code
- Data migration from legacy PLM and other systems
- Federated, cross-system views for reporting and analytics
- Reusable integration services that are easier to maintain
SnapLogic integration
SnapLogic is a cloud integration platform (iPaaS) that connects applications, data and APIs through visual pipelines and a large library of prebuilt connectors (Snaps). It is ideal for connecting MES with ERP, SaaS applications and cloud data platforms quickly and at scale.
- Prebuilt connectors for SAP, databases, SaaS applications and APIs
- Batch and real-time pipelines between MES and enterprise systems
- PLM to SAP S/4HANA, with the same data published to a metaphactory reporting server
- Centralized monitoring and API management
Typical integration scenarios
ERP ↔ MES
Work orders, materials, inventory movements and production confirmations between SAP, Oracle or Dynamics and Opcenter.
PLM → MES
Released BOMs, routings, bills of process, work instructions and engineering changes from Teamcenter to the shop floor.
Equipment → MES
Machines, PLCs and test equipment via SECS/GEM, OPC UA, IPC-CFX and custom interfaces for data collection and recipes.
Quality & lab systems
QMS, LIMS and SPC tools linked to production records for closed-loop quality.
Cloud & analytics
Production data streamed to cloud platforms, data lakes and BI tools for analytics.
Data migration
Moving master and history data during upgrades and system consolidations.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between MOM Connect, eQube and SnapLogic?
MOM Connect (Siemens Opcenter Connect MOM) is Siemens’ integration layer for Opcenter. eQube is a low-code integration and data platform widely used around Teamcenter and PLM. SnapLogic is a cloud integration platform (iPaaS) with many prebuilt connectors. We help you choose the right tool for each interface and often combine them.
Can you integrate Opcenter with SAP?
Yes. We integrate Siemens Opcenter with SAP and other ERP systems for work orders, materials, inventory and production confirmations, using Siemens tools or integration platforms.
Do you work with Teamcenter Gateway?
Yes. We work with Teamcenter Gateway (Active Integration) solutions to transfer parts, BOMs, documents and changes from Teamcenter to ERP, MES and other systems.
