MESA Webcast: Open O&M: Integration Unleashed

This MESA Webcast explains how to use two new integration standards to greatly simplify and speed up business-to-production floor integration, and integration among production floor systems.

This work was sponsored by the Open O&M organization, of which MESA is a member. These new standards are being developed by the ISA95 committee.

The first standard is the Information Service Bus Model (ISBM) which defines a standard method for interfacing with different Enterprise Service Buses, such as TIBCO, WebMethods, NetWeaver, etc. in order to send and receive messages between applications. The ISBM reduces the number of interfaces that vendors and end users need to support in their integration projects.

The second standard is the Common Interoperability Registry (CIR) which defines a standard method for reconciling the different names of objects and enumerations between systems. This standard helps solve issues such as multiple names for the same piece of equipment, or different names for the same status and quality values. The CIR provides a standard interface to a common global name space repository, an important but often forgotten part of any integration project.

The MESA webcast, given by Dave Emerson and Dennis Brandl, will present an overview of these two new important additions to the ISA-95 standard and MESA's supporting implementations of those standards.
