A new draft standard in the widely used ISA95 series has been issued for ISA95 committee balloting, as well as ISA and ANSI public review. ISA-d95.00.04, “Enterprise-Control System Integration: Part 4: Objects and Attributes for Manufacturing Operations Management Integration,” defines business-to-object models and attributes of the object models that define some of the information exchanged between functions defined in ANSI/ISA95.00.03. The object models and attributes may be used in the design and implementation of interface standards and for interoperability in manufacturing operations management. For more information, contact Charley Robinson, ISA Standards & Technology, crobinson@isa.org .
