Make2Pack turns a corner

With the January 2007 creation of ISAWorking Draft 88.00.05, Make2Pack has turned a corner, says Dave Chappell, the group's chair. He uses a farming analogy to make his point.

"In the three years we've been at this, we've been removing rocks from our field. Now we're ready to plow and plant."

Titled "Batch Control Part 5: Automated Equipment Control Models & Terminology," ISA 88.00.05 contains an approach that will support a library of automation components consistent with the ISA 88 Part 1 models that can be used by automation vendors across all types of manufacturing. These automation components will provide a common base of commonly used automation functions that encourages modularity and defines common methods for components to interact. From the very beginning, presenting Draft 88.00.05 to ISA was a key goal of Make2Pack, which is a joint working group of the WBF, OMAC Users Group, and ISA SP 88 Committee.
