Yoshiro Fukuda, Robert Patzke · Society of Instrument and Control Engineers of Japan · 2010
Recently, a lot of manufacturers are applying the manufacturing execution system (MES) to the automation system. The MES is not only linked to factory site, but also closely linked to enterprise management system. Standardization of MES is interested in the automation field and manufacturers. However, many IT companies provided MES systems to manufacturers. In this moment, it is difficult to make a standard for a MES structure and data by the international standard. Therefore, the ISO is developing a new standard of Key Performance Indicator (KPI) for MES in ISO/TC184/SC5. In this paper, a background for the standardization, a standardization activity and a proposed standard are descried.
