TS ISO/IEC 2382-24

TS ISO/IEC 2382-24 is the part of the information technology vocabulary series devoted to computer-integrated manufacturing, bringing together terminology used at the point where manufacturing and information systems meet. As a terminology standard, it is concerned with consistent meaning and usage of concepts, not with specifying product performance or mandating a manufacturing method.

The technical setting of computer-integrated manufacturing

In general technical use, computer-integrated manufacturing refers to a production environment in which computer-aided design, process planning, production control, shop-floor management, and automation components are linked through information flows. This field depends on clear communication between machines, workstations, software systems, and operational decisions. Well-defined terms are especially important when discussing routing, programming, scheduling, resource coordination, and flexible manufacturing concepts.

What this vocabulary part covers

The scope statement makes clear that this standard covers terminology related to computer-integrated manufacturing in information technology. It is therefore a vocabulary document for organising and normalising the language of the field, helping the same concept retain the same meaning across design, production, and automation contexts. Its value lies in creating a shared technical language between manufacturing and IT professionals.

• Provides common terminology for computer-integrated manufacturing.
• Aligns concepts used across information technology and production engineering.
• Supports clearer communication between design, manufacturing, and automation teams.
• It is a terminology standard, not a method or test standard.
