@Paúl Alejandro R Because you can create your own DLL's Flexsim can actually connect with anything. In case you want to connect with a database using ODBC is fine but you can also incorporate the drivers directly in a DLL which makes usually a faster connection

Hi. You can make flexsim connect with ERP, MES, HMI, PLC and OPC server stc.

Connecting flexsim with Database like Oracle or MS SQL or MySql need ODBC connection.

Connecting with PLC and OPC server need Emulator module of beta testing now of flexsim.

You can download the Emulator module beta version in this Q&A.

Yes, FlexSim 17.1.2 can connect with various ERP systems, including Infor LN. This integration can facilitate seamless data flow between FlexSim and the ERP, allowing you to feed real-time data into your model. In a setup involving Infor LN, FlexSim can pull relevant data across multiple ERP areas, such as HRIS for workforce planning, supply chain software for logistics and inventory, and even omnichannel software if you're managing multi-channel distribution needs. Depending on your configuration, you might use middleware or APIs to ensure smooth data exchange. Let me know if you need specifics on setting up the connection!
