ISA-88 with Rockwell HMI Training FAQ's

ISA-88 is an international standard for batch process control that defines consistent models for equipment, procedures, and recipes. It helps organizations build flexible, reusable, and scalable batch automation systems while reducing complexity and improving operational efficiency.

The training balances theory and practice. Core ISA-88 concepts are explained clearly and then applied through hands-on exercises using Rockwell HMI to ensure real-world understanding.

No prior ISA-88 experience is required. However, basic knowledge of PLCs, automation systems, and manufacturing processes will help learners understand the concepts more easily.

This training is highly beneficial for batch-oriented industries such as pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, chemicals, specialty chemicals, and life sciences.
