About the MIP

Manufacturing processes are becoming increasingly complex. This is the reason why today’s companies are asking for flexible platform solutions allowing to program applications according to their specific requirements and to combine applications from different providers. MPDV’s MIP is the first solution of production IT that makes all this possible.

The MIP is used as a central information and data platform in production and for all connected processes. All applications communicate using a common information model guaranteeing global interoperability. MIP users select from a multitude of so-called manufacturing apps (mApps) of various manufacturers. These mApps provide different functions and can be combined according to the users’ requirements. Companies can also develop their own mApps and offer them on the MIP marketplace. System integrators can create customized solutions from available applications for their customers. This transforms the MIP into an ecosystem of users, providers and system integrators providing completely new business models.
