# ASYS

The ASYS integration enables MES to communicate with ASYS-family equipment (such as Asys LaserMark, Ekra Printer and Divisio Depaneler) using the **MES-Socket-Interface v1.7** specification over TCP/IP.

The integration is responsible for:

- Accepting connections from ASYS equipment.
- Receiving XML messages, converting them to JSON and routing them to MES (either to a Service or a DEE) according to the configuration in `IoTMetadataDefinition`.
- Building and sending the XML reply back to the equipment.

!!! info "The features handled in this integration have as base the MES-Socket-Interface v1.7 specification."
