What is MES?

Now we understand what a Unit is, we can learn where the Units are stored and managed by OneVision.

Units are saved in the MES database. You can view this data in the MES section, where all saved Units are listed. Each Unit has several tags, such as the serial number, project, date, and any Results you added. OneVision automatically cleans old data from the database when the configured limits are reached.

note

Units can have more than one capture.

The Units are not saved automatically in the MES, you have to do it by code.
