What is ISO 23247-3 about?
ISO 23247-3 provides a list of basic information attributes for the OMEs:
- Examples of information attributes are given;
- Standards that can define these information attributes are discussed in Annex A.
Digital representation of OMEs can include both static and dynamic information. Information that does not change during manufacturing is classified as static. For example, the serial number of a piece of material is static. However, the shape of the material, if it changes during manufacturing processes, is dynamic.
ISO 23247-3 provides a list of basic information attributes for the OMEs within the reference architecture given in ISO 23247‑2.
ISO 23247-3 provides a list of basic information attributes for the OMEs with examples of information attributes.
NOTE-
The type of manufacturing supported by an implementation of the ISO 23247 framework depends on the standards and technologies available to model the observable manufacturing elements. Different manufacturing domains can use different data standards. As a framework, ISO 23247-3 does not prescribe specific data formats and communication protocols.
Who is BS ISO 23247-3 for?
BS ISO 23247-3 on digital twin framework for manufacturing is useful for: 
- Manufacturing industries
- Data handling authorities
- Device manufacturers
- Application developers
- Digital twin developers
Why should you use BS ISO 23247-3?
A digital twin assists with detecting anomalies in manufacturing processes to achieve functional objectives such as real-time control, predictive maintenance, in-process adaptation, Big Data analytics, and machine learning. A digital twin monitors its observable manufacturing element by constantly updating relevant operational and environmental data. The visibility into process and execution enabled by a digital twin enhances manufacturing operation and business cooperation.
A digital twin can exist across the entire product life cycle and leverages aspects of the virtual environment (high-fidelity, multi-physics, external data sources, etc.), computational techniques (virtual testing, optimisation, prediction, etc.), and aspects of the physical environment (historical performance, customer feedback, cost, etc.) to improve the performance of a manufacturing system.
ISO 23247 series defines a framework to support the creation of digital twins of observable manufacturing elements including personnel, equipment, materials, manufacturing processes, facilities, environment, products, and supporting documents.
Multiple existing standards and specifications can be used to represent OMEs. Each standard has its own characteristics and advantages. Digital twin developers should carefully consider which ones should be used for a target application. In many cases, multiple standards need to be combined because one can be most appropriate for the digital twin entity, and another can be most appropriate for the device communication entity. ISO 23247-3 provides brief summaries for a selection of existing standards.
A digital twin lets you monitor observable manufacturing element by constantly updating relevant operational and environmental data.
