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.

The aggregator Aggregator needs access to access the printers via network on printer-specific ports. If the aggregator Aggregator and the Printer printers are not in the same network, then those ports usually needs need to get be forwarded or whitelisted in a firewall.
The aggregator Aggregator pushes the data via a REST API to the 3YOURMIND Agile MES on the default ports 80/433. This connection typically does not require additional Network network setup.
The aggregator It Aggregator can be deployed on-site on a Windows machine by a network 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 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
