Integration of process control with optimization is critical to Smart Manufacturing (SM). Oftentimes, however, the process control solutions from one vendor do not interoperate with the optimization solutions of another. Incompatibilities among the representation and format used by the vendors can impede interoperability. Without this interoperability, it is impossible to achieve the higher level of decision support essential to SM. We believe that an emerging standard, ISO 15746, can facilitate semantic interoperability and enable the integration of process control with optimization. This paper reports the implementation and validation of ISO 15746, Automation systems and integration – Integration of advanced process control and optimization (APCO) capabilities for manufacturing systems. Guided by the standard, we modeled major components of a typical APCO system using tools from different vendors, implemented the information models defined in the standard, and integrated key system functions such as process optimization, process control, and user interface. A chemical process case based on the Tennessee-Eastman problem is used to demonstrate the implementation and validation of the standard. We developed a simulation of the chemical process and integrated it with the APCO system. We discuss the standard validation experience and the findings will be used to guide advance development of the standard.

过程控制与优化的集成对于智能制造（SM）至关重要。但是，通常情况下，一个供应商的过程控制解决方案无法与另一供应商的优化解决方案互操作。供应商使用的表示形式和格式之间的不兼容会阻碍互操作性。没有这种互操作性，就不可能获得SM必不可少的更高水平的决策支持。我们认为，新兴的标准ISO 15746可以促进语义互操作性，并使流程控制与优化相集成。本文报告了ISO 15746，自动化系统和集成–先进过程控制和优化（APC）集成的实施和验证O）制造系统的能力。在该标准的指导下，我们使用来自不同供应商的工具对典型APC O系统的主要组件进行了建模，实施了该标准中定义的信息模型，并集成了关键系统功能，例如流程优化，流程控制和用户界面。基于田纳西-伊士曼问题的化学过程案例被用来证明该标准的实施和验证。我们开发了化学过程的模拟并将其与APC O系统集成。我们讨论了标准验证经验，研究结果将用于指导标准的进一步开发。
