Conclusion
Use of the ISA-88 and ISA-95 standards for traceability in production

The ISA-88 and ISA-95 standards were not explicitly designed to take into account the specific needs of traceability.

These standards are widespread and well known in the industry, yet they provide a fairly complete representation of industrial systems, covering most of the facets required for traceability.

The construction of a traceability system can effectively take advantage of these standards under three conditions:

• encourage the appropriate implementation of these standards for operational needs (application interoperability and operational reporting) so as not to overload or frustrate the information infrastructure for traceability purposes;

• define the conceptual approach to data historization, for example, using the metamodel proposed in the preamble to this study...
