Cosmino REST API: Full control over your production data – digitization now even easier and faster
By susanne.gutermuth@cosmino.de InMore than just a data access: The Cosmino REST AOI as an active control element of your production IT
Today more than ever, IT managers in production need systems that not only provide data, but are also controllable - reliable, standardized and open for integration. This is exactly what the Cosmino REST API does. As a central interface, it provides access to your production data - and at the same time enables the targeted triggering of transactions to control MES functionalities directly via external software. This means that your production processes remain flexible, automatable and controllable via your own IT architecture.
The Cosmino REST API at a glance:
- Real-time data queries: retrieval of master data (e.g. workstations, tools, products), current production orders, machine statuses and current key figures - also in predefined evaluations, as a table or diagram.
- Transactions for MES control:
Specific actions can be triggered in Cosmino via defined API endpoints, e.g.:
- Starting, interrupting or completing production orders
- Acquisition of quantities, confirmations and downtimes
- Editing and crfeating master data records
- Assigning works steps to components (traceability)
- Controlling machine states or system logic
These transactions can be triggered via external software, automation systems or your own web applications - via REST, file imports, SOAP, MOM messages and much more, depending on your technical preference.
Your direct benefit
- Lower integration and development costs
Thanks to the standardized REST interface, third-party systems (ERP, BI, visualization, control systems) can be easily connected - without individual interface development. - End-to-end automation via the API elimininates media disruptions
Many manual confirmatione across system boundaries are no longer necessary. This not only reduces effort, but also the risk of errors in the production process. - Time savings in IT projects
New software solutions or data evaluations can be implemented much faster - without long adaptation cycles or dependency on the MES provider. - Flexible production control saves operating costs
Production processes can be specifically started, paused or adapted from external systems. You remain flexible at all times, regardless of whether you want to use existing systems, in-house developments or components from COSMINO AG. - Basis for your own MES extensions oder lean-in-house developments
The REST interfaces allow you to develop your own applications - Cosmino provides the reliable data and transaction basis.
The Cosmino REST-API offers your IT the flexibility and control to make existing processes more efficient, reduce costs and network your production in a future-proof way - whether as a supplement or the technical backbone of your own solution.
