How can MTSL apply to Manufacturing?
When we manufacture products, we need to do things like:
- Provision a unique MPBID, Serial Number, and other single-tool-specific metadata
- Write that tool-specific metadata to the tool
- Perform product-specific configurations defined by electrical engineering
- Confirm the BLE module is operational and configured (if applicable)
- Print the nameplate and other labels (if applicable)
- Upload tool record metadata to the Milwaukee Tool global data platform
The exact procedure varies by battery platform, BLE module, and sometime on a product by product basis.
The Platform IoT team maintains a variety of standard procedures here
The procedures described in that Excel spreadsheet can be codified as an MTSL Script.
Big Idea
**MTSL provides a way to codify the end-of-line programming procedure in a way that can be retrieved and interpreted by any software client. **
