ISA-95 Tool for Enterprise Modeling

Enterprise information modeling is one of the major challenges for system integration in Factory Automation. Different standards exist to model information. This paper describes ISA-95 Tool that is developed based on internationally-used industrial standard ANSI/ISA-95. The tool makes it easier to automatically integrate product information with a production system. Up to the knowledge of authors, so far only ad hoc solutions were developed following ISA-95, which were failing to support in general the modeling of manufacturing systems. The tool can be used for production order specifications. An overview on ISA-95, B2MML (Business to Manufacturing Mark-up Language) and structures as SIIS (Software Intensive Industrial System) are described in the paper, which are followed by tool description and case study.
