Windchill and MES Data Exchange

Integration with Other Applications > Introduction to Windchill ESI > Using Windchill Integration for MES > Windchill Integration for MES Architecture > Windchill and MES Data Exchange

The Windchill integration with MES uses ISA95 B2MML to exchange information between Windchill ESI Windchill and MES systems. You can modify the MES distribution target and use standard a Windchill ESI response schema.

The following table describes the Windchill Object/ESI XML object to B2MML representation of the object.
