Manufacturing Execution System

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is conducting market research to identify potential sources of commercial equipment and services that can provide a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) to integrate with Additive Manufacturing (AM) machines. The MES software should have an open API, be tested integrable with EOS 290 and Renishaw AM500, and come with emulators for integration tests. The contractor will be required to develop a neutral data model, align their MES API with the NIST-developed AM-MES information model, and develop a translation layer to ingest neutral model-based JSON into their software. The contractor will also be required to develop middleware, validate layer, and deploy API endpoints. • The MES software should have an open API. • The MES software should be tested integrable with EOS 290 and Renishaw AM500. • The MES software should come with emulators for integration tests. • The contractor should develop a neutral data model. • The contractor should align their MES API with the NIST-developed AM-MES information model. • The contractor should develop a translation layer to ingest neutral model-based JSON into their software.
