Benefits of Taking This Course
Since the development of the ISA S95 specification, many corporations have become more aware of the need to link the factory floor to the overall plant. Initially, in the creation of the S88 specification, the creators began to realize that there was so much more to connecting the enterprise to the process and manufacturing operations. They realized the issues went beyond merely defining “Batch Processes.” The issues have led to the many discussions of defining the roles of process control engineers and Information Technology (IT) professionals.

In a very basic way you will be able to:

• Explore the significance of integrating the control system with the business plan
  
• Learn why business computing differs from control computing
  
• Investigate examples of production capabilities
