ISA-95: the international standard for the integration of enterprise and control systems launches new website www.ISA-95.comISA-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. TWP training & consultancy provides seminars about
S88 part 3 in several countries in |

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: TWP training & consultancy. |

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." |
