Direct answer
It means using the CIMCO layer to bridge machines, programs, production events, and business systems that were not designed to communicate directly. DNC-Max can carry files and messages, MDC-Max can turn events into data, and management systems can apply context and control before information reaches ERP, MES, or analytics tools.
Practical checkpoint
Draw the current and desired information path for one event; include where the fact originates, where it is transformed, and which system ultimately owns it.
