B2MML is intended to be used for data exchange between a business system and a manufacturing system.This paper describes experiences of using the B2MML schemas in real applications. What happens if the Business system does not export the data in a format compliant with the schemas? What about security for the data being exchanged? Were extensions or restrictions needed on the schemas? Which are the reasons for choosing to use B2MML? Is it practically possible to communicate using B2MML? Benefits, difficulties, compromises, challenges etc of using the B2MML schemas in practical applications will be described in the paper.
