Abstract
The present subject matter relates to a method comprising receiving at a messaging middleware (325) from a first application (321) of the public network (237B) a data access request in a first format; processing by the messaging middleware (325) the data access request, the processing comprising converting the first format of the data access request from into a second format of a second application (306) of a specific corporate network (237A); and sending the data access request in the second format to the second application (306); processing by the second application (306) the data access request resulting in data; sending by the second application (306) the resulting data to the first application (321) through the messaging middleware (325).

A method for data enablement in a distributed manufacturing automation system, the distributed manufacturing automation system being configured as an automation pyramid comprising a plurality of levels, the distributed manufacturing automation system comprising networks, wherein each network is associated with one level of the automation pyramid, the networks comprising a public network and at least one corporate network, the method comprising:
- receiving at a messaging middleware from a first application of the public network a data access request in a first format;
- processing by the messaging middleware the data access request, the processing comprising converting the first format of the data access request into a second format of a second application of a specific corporate network of the at least one corporate network;
- and sending the data access request in the second format to the second application;
- processing by the second application the data access request resulting in data;
- sending by the second application the resulting data to the first application through the messaging middleware.
A distributed manufacturing automation system being configured as an automation pyramid comprising a plurality of levels, the distributed manufacturing automation system comprising networks, wherein each network is associated with one level of the automation pyramid, the networks comprising a public network and at least one corporate network, the distributed manufacturing automation system comprising a messaging middleware, the messaging middleware being configured for receiving from a first application of the public network a data access request in a first format;
- converting the first format of the data access request from into a second format of a second application of a specific corporate network of the corporate network;
- and sending the data access request in the second format to the second application;
- wherein the second application is configured for processing the data access request resulting in data;
- and sending the resulting data to the first application through the messaging middleware.
