Framework agreement for connecting process, logistics and measurement equipment to the MES

Summary

Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems (IPMS) in Dresden is procuring a four-year framework agreement, running from 2027 to 2030, for the step-by-step integration of approximately 160 heterogeneous process, measurement and logistics devices into its Critical Manufacturing MES. The services include analysis, specification, implementation, testing, commissioning and documentation of the integrations, as well as provision and maintenance of an equipment-integration framework, support and knowledge transfer. The planned equipment includes approximately 80–90 process devices, 40–50 measurement and metrology devices, 20–30 logistics and handling systems, and devices with limited or non-standard interfaces; specific integrations will be ordered individually, with no guaranteed minimum quantity.
