Setup

To connect AM machines to the Agile MES it is essential to establish a stable connection between the software and the printers.

To connect machines printers it is required that the 3YOURMIND Aggregator is deployed within the printers printer's network.
The Aggregator is a small console application that converts data from different printer protocols to a common format.

1. Aggregator needs access to the printers via network on printer-specific ports. If the Aggregator and the printers are not in the same network, then those ports usually need to be forwarded or whitelisted in a firewall.

2. The Aggregator pushes data via a REST API to the 3YOURMIND Agile MES on the default ports 80/433. This connection typically does not require additional network setup.

The Aggregator can be deployed on-site on a Windows or Linux machine by a Network Administratornetwork administrator.

Multiple Aggregators must be deployed when the printers are operating in different networks. For this, see Multi-Facility Installation .

The Aggregator must be installed and configured by a Network Administrator network administrator through a config file.
The configurator network administrator must know:

• IP addresses + ports of the printers

• Printer model types

• Agile MES service panel ID to connect to

• An API token of a user that can access the service panel
