The universal integration module is designed for data exchange between systems built on the basis of the functionality of the LOTSMAN application server, as well as any related information systems of the PDM/PLM, ERP, MES classes that have software services for working with external data.

One of the key purposes of the technical solution is the development of data exchange standards and the unification of integration methods, which allow the module to be used as a universal solution in the process of merging systems. This technical solution in each specific case of system integration at the enterprise allows you to configure the data exchange model and choose the appropriate synchronization method.

The main objectives of this technical solution are:

• Data exchange between adjacent systems, allowing them to work together;
• Resolving conflicts of heterogeneity of data models of various sources;
• Resolving naming conflicts of system entities, bringing to a common terminology at the integration level;
• Bringing data types and measurement units of systems to a single exchange format;
• Identification of conflicts in the exchange and updating of data, with the possibility of their analysis and correction;
• Automation of the process of configuring integration data models.
