"ISA-88 has not only become the worldwide-accepted standard for batch control systems, but has also been widely applied in areas outside of batch," stated ISA-SP88 Chairman Dennis Brandl of BR+L Consulting.
"This update project will clarify issues that have come up over the past several years in using the ISA-88 series.
These may include terminology clarifications, documenting how the standard is applied in discrete and continuous manufacturing, enhanced definitions of equipment modules and control modules, and updates on the activity model to clarify alignment with the ISA-95 Part 3 Production Operations Management module," added Brandl, who also serves as lead editor for ISA SP95 standards committee, Enterprise-Control Systems Integration.
Leading the working group is Paul Nowicki of Rockwell Automation.
Serving as the lead editor is ISA-SP88 Chairman Emeritus Lynn Craig.
