Z-Fact0r components were developed by different technical providing partners as mostly standalone components. The result was that on each shop floor worked many different components individually. An interoperability level was necessary for the Z-Fact0r system to be a solution to work as a whole. Various integration processes and extensive planning took place during the project and created an integrated system as a final product. The interoperability between the components was the first essential characteristic for the integration process. The components were desinged in the system, in a way that allowed them to operate together without conflicts during data streaming and operation.
