What is ISO 15746‑3 about?
ISO 15746‑3 is part three of the multi-series standard that defines the principle of verification and validation according to the activity models and workflow of an advanced process control and optimization (APC-O) system, analyses and defines the general process for verification and validation of APC-O systems and specifies a set of indicators and checkpoints used for verification and validation.
ISO 15746‑3 helps you in verification and validation of integration of advanced process control and optimization capabilities for manufacturing systems.
Who is ISO 15746‑3 for?
ISO 15746‑3 on verification and validation of integration of advanced process control and optimization capabilities for manufacturing systems is useful for:
- Project solution suppliers
- Automation systems integrators
- Production departments of companies
- Process engineers
- Independent software testing organizations
- Implementation and consulting service organizations of advanced process control and optimization software
- Relevant government and academic organizations
Why should you use ISO 15746‑3?
Automation solutions equipped with both software and hardware components are provided by different suppliers to accomplish APC-O functions. Due to the diversity of development environments and the variety of demand focus, the automation solutions from various suppliers tend to be isolated and relatively independent, which makes it harder for the automation solutions to be integrated. Consequently, various automation solution components that the customers can have access to are filled with redundant and duplicated functions, resulting in a waste of resources and limited interoperability.
ISO 15746‑3 offers an interoperability framework for advanced process control and optimization with the intention of maximizing both the integration and the interoperability of automation solutions.
ISO 15746‑3 provides you a specification for both users and suppliers of the APC-O systems. The APC-O system that conforms to the specification will satisfy the customer requirements and facilitate the integration between different APC-O systems.
