The ISA (International Society of Automation) standards 88 and 95 are manufacturing standards established in the late 1990s and periodically updated by the governing bodies responsible for them the Instrumentation Society of America and the American National Standards Institute). The two standards set up protocols and uniform specifications for batch control systems, including types of control equipment, design of control systems and interpretation of batch control data. In this volume, the reader will find innovative applications of ISA batch recipes to continuous and semi-continuous manufacturing operations, as well as how to integrate with ISA 95 standards for total integrated manufacturing automation. It features: How to apply ISA 88 batch recipes to continuous and semi-continuous manufacturing processes; how to use ISA 88 recipes for packaging of consumer packaged goods and defining a Compliant Packaging Environment; and examples of applying ISA 88 and 99 to manufacturing and packaging systems integration.
