WG 23 - TC 65/WG 23

IEC TS 63283-2: 2025 has the goal of analyzing the impact of smart manufacturing on the daily operation of an industrial facility. It focusses on the perspective of automation and control of the production system, but also on the supporting processes of ordering, supply chain management, design, engineering and commissioning, operational technology, life cycle management, maintenance management, and resource management.
These recommendations are accomplished on the basis of several carefully selected use cases that are familiar to manufacturing industry. Therefore, each use case is described, followed by an analysis of the possible influence of smart manufacturing and the assessment of the impact on existing and future standardization.
This first edition cancels and replaces the first edition of IEC TR 63283-2 published in 2022. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) additional use cases (Clause 6);
b) clustering of the requirements for standardization (Clause 7);
c) consolidation of the use cases contributing to the cluster “Computing infrastructure” (Clause 8 and Annex D);
d) consolidation of the business context of the use cases (Annex C).

IEC TR 63283-5:2024 describes the market and innovation trend analysis affecting smart manufacturing (SM). The market and innovation trends will influence the evolution of smart manufacturing and it will be important to have good insights on these trends. Specific aspects of the market trends are the evolution of the business cases that is assumed to highlight new supplier chain models, new revenue streams, new customer services, and/or new customer segments.
The document will address the following topics:
• Market watch: Identify the important, likely, and/or disruptive market trends (e.g. mass customization) from an end-to-end perspective, which impact smart manufacturing topics/aspects. This includes the end-user, producers, supply chain, regulators, etc.
• Business model watch: Identify the new business model trends from an end-to-end perspective, which impact smart manufacturing.
• Technological watch: Identify the important, likely, and/or disruptive innovations (AI chipsets, 6G, quantum computing, etc.) describing the impacted smart manufacturing topics/aspects; this topic will focus on those technologies that are still under development but is assumed to influence (or is assumed to be influenced by) smart manufacturing.
There are many more new trends which are used in SM. In this document, only some frequently discussed trends are presented. Some technologies are considered to have priority according to their maturity.
This work will focus on how they can be used in SM.

IEC TR 63283-2:2022(EN) has the goal of analyzing the impact of “Smart Manufacturing” on the daily operation of an industrial facility. It focusses on the perspective of automation and control of the production system, but also on the supporting processes of ordering, supply chain management, design, engineering and commissioning, operational technology, life cycle management, and resource management.
These recommendations are accomplished on the basis of several carefully selected use cases that are familiar to manufacturing industry. Therefore, each use case is described, followed by an analysis of the possible influence of “Smart Manufacturing” and the assessment of the impact on existing and future standardization.

IEC TR 63283-3:2022(E) identifies challenges which apply to the engineering of a smart manufacturing facility related to cybersecurity.

IEC TR 63283-1:2022(E) is to compile a comprehensive collection of base terminology with compatible terms that can become relevant within the scope of Smart Manufacturing. Most of these terms refer to existing definitions in the domain of industrial-process measurement, control and automation and its various subdomains. When multiple similar definitions exist for the exact same term in different standards, this document contains only the preferred definition in the context of Smart Manufacturing. Whenever the existing definitions are not compatible with other terms in this document or when the definition does not fit into the broader scope of Smart Manufacturing, new or modified definitions are given.
