ISA-88 and ISA-95 are two industry standards developed by the International Society of Automation (ISA) to address different aspects of industrial automation.
1. [[ISA-88]] (also known as Batch Control) focuses on the control and management of batch processes. It provides a framework for designing, implementing, and operating batch control systems. This standard defines models, terminology, and guidelines for organizing and structuring batch processes, including recipes, equipment modules, procedural control, and recipe management. ISA-88 aims to improve efficiency, repeatability, and flexibility in batch manufacturing.
2. [[ISA-95|ISA-95]] (also known as Enterprise-Control System Integration) addresses the integration of enterprise-level business systems with control systems on the factory floor. It provides a standard data model and information exchange methodology to enable interoperability between different systems used in manufacturing operations. ISA-95 focuses on the exchange of information related to production scheduling, work orders, material tracking, quality data, equipment status, etc., between enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems and manufacturing execution systems (MES).
In summary,
- ISA-88 is focused on batch process control within a single facility while providing guidelines for recipe-based manufacturing.
- ISA-95 is focused on integrating enterprise-level business systems with control systems to enable data exchange for efficient production planning.
Both standards play crucial roles in improving productivity and interoperability in industrial automation but address different aspects of manufacturing operations.
