The International Society of Automation (ISA) has announced a new certificate program designed to provide an overview of the ISA-95/IEC 62264 standards framework for integrating enterprise and control systems in manufacturing.
With ISA's new certificate program, control system engineers and managers, system integrators, plant managers, and other industrial automation professionals will be able to validate and showcase their understanding of this important framework.
Leveraging the ISA-95/IEC 62264 standards, the program offers the knowledge needed to define business activities and the flow of information between flexible shop-floor execution systems and sophisticated enterprise planning (ERP) systems. It also covers key IT terminology to help ensure meaningful collaboration between manufacturing personnel and IT personnel working on integration projects.
To earn the ISA-95/IEC 62264 (E-CSI) Fundamentals Specialist certificate, students must successfully complete the ISA-95/IEC 62264 Enterprise-Control System Integration (E-CSI) Fundamentals training course, which is available in several formats: in-person in a classroom setting, an instructor-guided online course, a self-paced modular course, and a virtual classroom. Students must also pass a multiple-choice exam to be granted a certificate.
"ISA is proud to have developed and launched a new certificate program for the ISA-95/IEC 62264 standards framework, one of the most critical standards frameworks for modern global manufacturing," said Dalton Wilson, managing director of education services for ISA. "Students in this program will be empowered to integrate enterprise and control systems in their organizations, ensuring accurate data exchange and visibility across manufacturing operations."
