ISA-95:
the international standard for the integration of enterprise and control
systems launches new website www.ISA-95.com
ISA-95* is the international standard for
the integration of enterprise and control systems. ISA-95 consists of models
and terminology. These can be used to determine which information, has to be
exchanged between systems for sales, finance and logistics and systems for
production, maintenance and quality. This information is structured in UML
models, which are the basis for the development of standard interfaces
between ERP and MES systems. The ISA-95 standard can be used for several
purposes, for example as a guide for the definition of user requirements, for
the selection of MES suppliers and as a basis for the development of MES
systems and databases. *ISA-95 used to be called S95. In 2003
ISA decided to rename S95 into ISA-95. |

SAP
and Siemens Announce Cooperation with the Intention to Deliver Integrated
Solution (based on ISA-95)
SAP AG (NYSE: SAP) and Siemens Automation
and Drives (A&D) are announcing their intent for a preferred strategic
partnership to deliver an integrated solution that will help companies
eliminate the disconnect of mission-critical information between
Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) and business software solutions. The
intent of the cooperation is to address some of the major concerns that
production supervisors and plant managers of manufacturing companies are
facing today such as the lack of integration of MES on the plant floor with
business software solutions, increased IT spending, and the need for
production personnel to measure, monitor or control their key performance
indicators (KPIs) on demand. The joint offering shall be a significant step
in helping manufacturing companies address these everyday issues, while also
lowering total-cost-of-ownership (TCO), and easing implementation,
maintenance and performance management. For more information contact TWPtraining |

ANSI/ISA-95.00.03-2005
Enterprise-Control System Integration, Part 3 (Downloadable)
ISA-95, Part 3 is now available for download!
Now is also a perfect time to get all three parts of the standard- all are
downloadable and available on the web. This part of the standard defines
activity models of manufacturing operations management that enable an
enterprise system to control system integration. The activities defined in
this part of the standard are consistent with the Part 1 object models
definitions. The modeled activities operate between business planning and
logistics functions, defined as the Part 1 Level 4 functions, and the process
control functions, defined as the Part 1 Level 2 functions. The scope of Part
3 encompasses: a model of the activities associated with manufacturing
operations management, Level 3 functions; and an identification of some of
the data exchanged between Level 3 activities. |

ISA
approves merger with OMAC
ISA—The
Instrumentation, Systems, and Automation Society's Executive Board today
approved its merger with OMAC—The Open Modular Architecture Controls Users'
Group. OMAC will now act as a subsidiary of ISA. "OMAC has been blessed
with the active participation of a dedicated group of volunteers from
numerous end user companies, automation suppliers, and OEM's over its past
eight years or so of informal existence," said OMAC Board Chair Andy
McDonald of Unilever. "We are delighted that we are now affiliating with
such a respected and established organization as ISA. It should help OMAC
achieve even more success in establishing guidelines in areas such as
packaging, computerized numerical control, and manufacturing
architecture." "ISA is excited
about the opportunity to work more closely with the members of OMAC to
establish consensus industry standards for the manufacturing community,"
said ISA President Donald Zee. "The guidelines that OMAC has established
have greatly facilitated more efficient and effective manufacturing. They
serve as an excellent complement to ISA's legacy of useful industry
standards, and we look forward to working together in the future." "ARC has been
working with both groups for many years," said Dick Hill, vice president
at Dedham, Mass.-based industry research firm, ARC Advisory Group. "Both
OMAC and ISA are respected for helping achieve consensus and direction in the
automation community. They have respective strengths in the discrete and
process industries. By joining forces, they are positioned to leverage those
strengths to become even more effective in serving the needs of automation
professionals and manufacturing industries." |

SAP
adopts ISA/ANSI S95
SAP AG is addressing
concerns about the lack of adoption of defined standards which is
preventing the efficient movement of information from the shop floor
execution layer to the enterprise business layer. SAP is starting with support
for ISA-95 and is developing a roadmap for the adoption of process
industry standards. "Given SAP's
reputation in the global manufacturing ecosystem and the breadth of SAP's
manufacturing solutions, SAP's support of any standards gives those standards
immediate validation," said Bob Mick, V.P. Emerging Technology, ARC
Advisory Group. "We believe that the adoption rate of standards like ISA-95
can also be positively impacted should SAP decide to build the requirements
into its solution." For more information: SAP |

S88
part 3 accepted by
IEC
Recently ISA has published part 3 of the
S88 standard. This part provides the detailed definition of the content of a
general recipe. What format should this information take? How do we draw it
or write it down so everyone understands it? How should the information be
structured? It also provides a methodology of a conversion of a general or
site recipe to a master recipe. “This presents the possibility of having a
single corporate wide recipe for a product that can be rolled out to a large
number of local manufacturing plants with assurance the product will be the
same in each location”, according to Lynn Craig, the committees chairman
(Intech). Up till now there was no accepted method for depicting a general
recipe in a consistent manner and no generally accepted method of going from
general and site to a master recipe. S88 part 3 provides the solution to this
problem. The standard has recently been accepted by the IEC and has thus
become an international standard. The standard can be downloaded at www.ISA.org.

for free: ppt presentation Applying S95 – the whole picture
TWP training & consultancy provided a
webcast seminar for the World Batch Forum, called Applying S95: the Whole
Picture. Do you understand how to build
information flows using the S95 object models? The SP95 committee has put a
lot of time and effort into the development of the S95 standard. Their
knowledge and practical experience were combined into a consistent set of
models and terminology. The standard is very complex, so it will take a lot
of time to really understand the object models, their internal relationships,
and the S95 terms (e.g. ‘Material segment specification property
attributes’). Many people are looking for a complete and consistent case,
which is not too complex or too industry specific, as an example of how to
apply S95. This case study provides an example of
the application of the 9 object models of S95, and how these can be used to
build the S95 information flows in B2MML (XML). You can obtain it for free:

Microsoft
broadens support for ISA-95
Microsoft Corp. announced Tuesday its
Plant-to-Enterprise Interoperability initiative with the support of ISA-95
standards that will extend its longtime commitment to the OPC standard for
the shop floor. The information came out at National
Manufacturing Week 2005 in ISA-95 is an international standard that
defines the terminology and models used in the integration of business
systems at the enterprise level with control systems at the plant-floor
level. Dennis Brandl, editor of the ISA-95
standard and president of BR&L Consulting in Cary, NC, told InTech he was
encouraged to see Microsoft's support, indicating the standard has value to
ERP vendors and customers. "I'm happy Microsoft has listened to the
leading edge participants in the ISA-95 standard and is supporting that work,"
he said. Microsoft also recently joined and
accepted a board position with the Manufacturing Enterprise Solutions
Association (MESA), a not-for-profit organization of manufacturers and
information system providers focused on leveraging technology in order to
better achieve business goals. "Growing market dynamics and
increased competition have made it necessary to integrate manufacturing
operations into business performance metrics," said Robert Mick, vice
president of emerging technologies at ARC Advisory Group Inc.
"Interoperability of business and operations systems is key, and Microsoft's
support of standards such as ISA-95 will accelerate industry adoption as well
as hasten the development of implementation standards." |
