Abstract

A method and a system provide, to production process personnel, an electronic work instruction for a production activity, compliant with an ISA-95 standard. The system contains at least one connection configured for exchanging at least one electronic work instruction between a production process based on the ISA-95 standard and an Electronic Work Instruction entity. The Electronic Work Instruction entity is configured for being compliant with the ISA-95 standard of the production process and capable of loading and storing at least one electronic work instruction. A device for accessing the electronic work instruction is also provided.

Claims

1. A method for providing an electronic work instruction for a production activity of production process personnel compliant with an ISA-95 standard, the method comprising the steps of:

providing a production process based on the ISA-95 standard with a connection configured for exchanging at least one electronic work instruction with an Electronic Work Instruction entity compliant with the ISA-95 standard;

providing the production process with the Electronic Work Instruction entity capable of loading and storing the at least one electronic work instruction; and

providing access to the at least one electronic work instruction.

2. The method according to claim 1, which further comprises providing the Electronic Work Instruction entity with an Electronic Work Instruction Model entity according to the ISA-95 standard.

3. The method according to claim 1, which further comprises configuring the access to the electronic work instruction for allowing the production process personnel to load, read, modify, and store the electronic work instruction.

4. The method according to claim 3, which further comprises performing the loading and the storing of at least one electronic work instruction respectively from and in a database.

5. A system for providing an electronic work instruction for a production activity of production process personnel compliant with an ISA-95 standard, the system comprising:

an Electronic Work Instruction entity configured for being compliant with the ISA-95 standard and capable of loading and storing at least one electronic work instruction;

a connection for exchanging the at least one electronic work instruction between a production process based on the ISA-95 standard and said Electronic Work Instruction entity; and

means for accessing the electronic work instruction.

6. The system according to claim 5, wherein said Electronic Work Instruction entity has an Electronic Work Instruction Model entity capable of providing said Electronic Work Instruction entity with at least one model of the electronic work instruction.

7. The system according to claim 5, wherein said means for accessing the electronic work instruction has an interactive tool configured for allowing the production process personnel to load, read, modify, and store the electronic work instruction.

8. The system according to claims 5, further comprising a database and said Electronic Work Instruction entity is capable of loading from and storing in said database the at least one electronic work instruction.
