Manufacturing Automation Protocol (MAP)

Manufacturing Automation Protocol (MAP) is a communication system that allows different industrial equipment and computer systems in a manufacturing plant to share data seamlessly. It standardizes how machines, processes, and control systems exchange information, enabling real-time monitoring, coordination, and automation of production tasks. By using MAP, manufacturers can improve efficiency, reduce errors, and streamline operations, ensuring that all parts of the factory work together smoothly. Essentially, it acts as a digital language that connects machinery and software to facilitate smarter, more responsive manufacturing processes.
