OpenO&M

OpenO&M (Open Operations and Maintenance) is an initiative of the following three industry standards organisations:

• Machinery Information Management Open System Alliance - MIMOSA
• OPC Foundation
• ISA-The Instrumentation, Systems, and Automation Society

The aim of OpenO&M is to provide a harmonized set of standards. From the organizational point of view, OpenO&M is a virtual organization maintained by MIMOSA.^[1]

OpenO&M framework

The OpenO&M framework consists of the following standards for the exchange of Operations & Maintenance data and associated context:

• MIMOSA Open Systems Architecture for enterprise application integration (OSA-EAI)
• MIMOSA Open Systems Architecture for condition-based maintenance (OSA-CBM)
• ANSI/ISA-95 – Enterprise/Control System Interface Standard
• ISA-99 – Control System Cyber-Security Standard
• ISA-OMAC – Open Modular Architecture Controls group standardizing packaging machinery interfaces
• OPC interface specifications and data transport standards

Joint working groups

OpenO&M is composed Joint Working Groups (JWG). These JWG are diverse groups of relevant organizations and subject matter experts. There are three Joint Working Groups:

• Manufacturing JWG
• Facilities JWG
• Military JWG

The JWG are focused on enabling O&M application interoperability. The goal of the JWG is to offer domain end users a harmonized set of data exchange standards while avoiding duplication of work. ^[2]
