B2MML Companion Specification Announced


I have been meaning to blog about this for a number of weeks now.

As stated at MTConnect.org

"MTConnect-B2MML is a companion specification to ensure interoperability and consistency between MTConnect specifications and the B2MML implementation of ISA95, as well as the manufacturing technology equipment, devices, software or other products that implement those standards.

Version 1.00 Draft (October 2017)

Additional documentation for implementing B2MML with MTConnect is available on the MTConnect User Portal wiki at www.mtcup.org/wiki/B2MML. "


Note: There is lots of very good information at the mtcup URL above.  For example, here are the high level objectives:

  • Define the interaction between existing standards from each organization to provide a platform for improved manufacturing technology interoperability.
  • Provide a forum for the exchange of information to support future continuous improvement of standards and specifications overseen by each body.
  • Provide a mechanism for the exchange of insights, identification of overlaps, and harmonization of the works of both organizations; where appropriate.
  • Provide a roadmap for implementers to leverage the capabilities of the standards and specifications of both bodies.
