Why ISO 15926? Originally the POSC/Caesar data model Industry aligned with ISO In production use by Aveva, Bentley −Other major detailed engineering vendors engaged Appearing in RFQs for software and engineering services ISO standard extended via “Work in Progress” −AspenTech will input IP into ISO over time

Vendor-Neutral Interface Estimating Process Mechanical AspenTech P&ID to 3rd-party P&ID or 3D Equipment datasheet to procurement IS Interface In-house integration platform Standards enable this interface Master Data Model

Vendor-Neutral Interface in Action: AVEVA / PDMS Aspen Basic Engineering P&ID export via ISO Received in AVEVA P&ID Mgr Items and Connectivity defines PDMS 3D Model

Content – NORSOK Datasheets Library of all 32 NORSOK datasheets Included in our products The standard enables two-way data transfer Data from engineering tools to the datasheets Data from the datasheets to our estimating and equipment design tools

The Challenge of ISA-S95 Goals of the Standards Effort: Provide a seamless flow of information between manufacturing and the rest of the business Overcome people and organizational problems. No standards contribute to inability to share information: −Terminology is different across different groups and locations −Representation of data is different −People differ on what’s important −Critical success factors are different Defines standard activities and the information flows between the different manufacturing activities and with business systems so it is common to anyone, vendor and end user

ISA-S95

ISA S95: Hierarchy Model (Domains) A simplified version of the complete model defined in the Purdue Reference Model for CIM (Computer Integrated Manufacturing), combined with the MESA (Manufacturing Execution Systems Association) model for activities in the manufacturing control domain. Purdue CIM Reference Model ISA S95 defines processes and data transfer within MCS and between MCS and Business Logistics Systems OPC enables data between DCS and Manufacturing control Systems

Why Was B2MML Created? Evangelize use of ISA-95 standard −Recognized need for implementation ready, IT acceptable, formats −XML was emerging as mainstream IT technology −Seed use of standards in IT projects Provide common base for end-users & vendors −Pre-empt competing vocabularies −Common definitions aid interoperability −Reduce duplication of effort Lack of XML definitions would limit standards adoption

Value of ISA – S95… For End-Users: Provides reference to model their own business needs Use to define what components a project needs – incrementally Use to greatly reduce RFQ pre-work – reduces to selection list Re-use of IP across businesses Reduced learning curve for user and technical support: consistency Reduces costs of inter-vendor interoperability Used in rational vendor selection evaluation: compare against a “gold Standard” For Solution Providers: Provides consistent solutions across industry between customers Allows for lower cost integration services Faster deployments Fosters incremental solution deployments Does allow room for innovation/differentiation within confines of Standard Lower project bidding costs Overall lower project costs and time

AspenTech Industry Expertise Aligned with ISA S95  aspenONE incorporates process industry expertise with ISA S95 –Makes the guideline practical –Across all Solutions, Infrastructure components, Visualization, Master Data Model  Developed a set of Common Messages for data exchange –Framework message structure –Rules and guidelines align with S95 Standards  Built supporting infrastructure to provide agreement on data content –Common resource definitions (Equipment, Materials) –Agreed data content support (Properties, Attributes, Units of Measure, DateTime representation) –Basis for Aspen Master Data Model for Operations  Built supporting infrastructure for workflow, event, error handling –Central Error Logger –Common Infrastructure Messages
