    Application integration becomes more complex as software becomes more advanced. This thesis investigates the applicability of model-driven application integration methods to the software integration of manufacturing execution systems (MES). The goal was to create a code generator that uses models to generate a working program that transfers data from a MES to another information system. The focus of the implementation was on generality. First, past research of MES was reviewed, the means to integrate it with other information systems were investigated, and the international standard ISA-95 and B2MML as well as model-driven engineering (MDE) were revised. Next, requirements were defined for the system. The requirements were divided into user and developer requirements. A suitable design for a code generator was introduced and, after that, implemented and experimented. The experiment was conducted by reading production data from the database of MES-like Delfoi Planner and then transforming that data to B2MML-styled XML-schema. The experiment verified that the code generator functioned as intended. However, compared to a manually created program, the generated code was longer and less efficient. It should also be considered that adopting MDE methods takes time. Therefore, for MDE to be better than traditional programming, the code generator has to be used multiple times in order to achieve the benefits and the systems cannot be too time-critical either. Based on the findings, it can be said, that model-driven application integration methods can be used to integrate MESs, but there are restrictions.
