Tag sources
Register event sources and maintain clear source identity for incoming plant data.
DEPICT Integrate
A controlled bridge between machine events, external systems and MES records.
DEPICT Integrate handles tag sources, mappings, event ingestion, projection rules, retries, diagnostics and ERP or work-order messaging without tightly coupling every external system to the MES module.
DEPICT Integrate
Connect PLC events, tag sources, ERP and work-order data to controlled DEPICT records through auditable integration pipelines.
Capabilities
Controlled integration, not uncontrolled data movement.
Tag mappings
Map source events to line, machine, semantic meaning and projection context.
Event projection
Turn approved event patterns into downtime, reject, count or status records.
Diagnostics
Track processing state, ignored events, errors, retries and created-record links.
ERP / work-order bridge
Stage inbound and outbound messages for products, batches, work orders and completion records, including KBM where applicable.
Replay support
Support controlled replay and investigation of event streams where site procedures allow.
Event projection
Machine events become controlled MES records only through explainable rules.

Questions
Common questions
Why separate integration from MES?
It prevents the MES module from being tightly coupled to every PLC, ERP, work-order system or file format.
Can integration events be traced?
Yes. Each projected record can link back to the source event, mapping, rule and processing history.
Can integration be phased?
Yes. DEPICT Integrate can support staged event imports, gateway feeds or direct connectors depending on site readiness and validation requirements.
