ISA95IEC

ISA95IEC is a reference to the international standard family that governs enterprise-control system integration, combining the ISA-95 framework with its IEC adoption under the IEC 62264 designation. The combined standard provides a consistent set of models, terminology, and data structures to enable interoperable information exchange between business systems and manufacturing operations.

The core aim of ISA95IEC is to standardize how information flows between enterprise systems (such as ERP and planning tools) and manufacturing control systems (including MES and shop-floor automation). It defines a common information model and activity framework to support planning, execution, and feedback across the plant and the broader organization. Key concepts include common object types such as Material, Equipment, Personnel, Process Segment, Work Order, Production Schedule, and Production Order, along with the relationships that tie them to production activities and workflow.

The IEC 62264 (ISA-95) edition is published in multiple parts that address models and terminology, objects and attributes, and interfaces for production operations management and production activities. These parts provide guidance on data structures, roles, and processes needed to implement interoperable integrations between ERP, MES, and shop-floor systems. The standard is widely used across industries such as automotive, electronics, and consumer goods to improve interoperability, reduce custom integration, and align production planning with execution.

ISA95IEC is often complemented by other standards and frameworks in manufacturing, including approaches used in Industry 4.0 contexts, data exchange protocols, and quality management systems, to support end-to-end digitalized operations.
