The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is an application layer protocol in the Internet protocol suite model for distributed, collaborative, hypermedia information systems.

Ingress is traffic that enters the boundary of a network. Egress is traffic that exits an entity or a network boundary.

Apache Kafka is an open-source distributed event streaming platform used by thousands of companies for high-performance data pipelines, streaming analytics, data integration, and mission-critical applications.

Master Data Management

Module of the Nexeed Industrial Application System, see our web page for more information.

A northbound interface is an application programming interface (API) or protocol that allows a lower-level network component to communicate with a higher-level or more central component, while — conversely — a southbound interface allows a higher-level component to send commands to lower-level network components. Northbound and southbound interfaces are most associated with software-defined networking (SDN), but can also be used in any system that uses a hub-and-spoke or controller-and-nodes architecture.

OpCon XML is a standard for the exchange of data between production equipment and OpCon MES in Bosch. The events specified in the OpCon DirectDataLink Module are expressed as corresponding XML messages.

The Open Production Protocol (OPP) is a unified standard for machine communication within Bosch Manufacturing and Logistics Platform (BMLP) and NEXEED Industrial Application System (NEXEED IAS) for internal and external market.
It dramatically reduces the configuration and integration effort of machines and enables a decoupling of machine communication and software solution development for manufacturing IT.
It unifies existing standards for machine communication within Bosch like OpConXml, AE-JSON, M2M@CC, etc. as well as external protocols like PPMP.

Publish/subscribe messaging, or pub/sub messaging, is a form of asynchronous service-to-service communication used in serverless and microservices architectures. In a pub/sub model, any message published to a topic is immediately received by all the subscribers to the topic. Pub/sub messaging can be used to enable event-driven architectures, or to decouple applications in order to increase performance, reliability and scalability.

A regular expression (shortened as regex) is a sequence of characters that specifies a match pattern in text. Usually such patterns are used by string-searching algorithms for "find" or "find and replace" operations on strings, or for input validation.

The Rexroth Tightening protocol is a message protocol for communication between Bosch Rexroth Tightening devices and services.
Technically, the data is sent as a JSON payload via REST. Only http is supported. The communication is unidirectional and always goes from the device to a service. The recipient is the client provides a REST API.

Transport Layer Security (TLS) is a cryptographic protocol designed to provide communications security over a computer network. The protocol is used to secure HTTPS connections. TLS builds on the now-deprecated SSL (Secure Sockets Layer)

A wildcard is a symbol used to replace or represent one or more characters. The most common wildcards are the asterisk (*), which represents one or more characters, and the question mark (?), which represents a single character.
