ISA-95 is a globally recognized standard that establishes a framework for integrating enterprise IT (such as ERP systems) with industrial control systems (such as MES and SCADA). It defines hierarchical levels for data flow and interoperability between business and operational systems.
By standardizing data structures and communication protocols, ISA-95 helps manufacturers improve operational efficiency, reduce integration costs, and enhance supply chain visibility. It plays a crucial role in defining automation workflows and ensuring system interoperability across the enterprise.
As more industries adopt Industry 4.0, ISA-95 remains a fundamental guideline for managing data consistency and digital transformation efforts. It supports the adoption of Industrial IoT (IIoT) technologies by ensuring structured and scalable data exchange.
