This paper presents a middle data layer that is designed and implemented based on the ANSI/ISA-95 industrial standard. The proposed middle data layer extracts key information on manufacturing operations from the control systems as well as the business systems. The proposed model enhances interoperability in Industry 4.0 by using a standardized and formalized data structure. We expand the above idea into three directions. Firstly, we analyze all the layers of the traditional automation hierarchy model of ISA-95 to get an overview of objects and activities that are needed for building a middle data layer and re-structure the traditional hierarchy levels by introducing the ISA-95 based middle data layer. Secondly, we design the data architectures by categorizing the data source and explain the formalized and standardized data models. Finally, we use a Smart Manual Station of a production setup to show how to apply the proposed ISA-95 middle data layer to the real world case. The results indicate that the middle data layer enhances the interoperability of manufacturing systems and creates a universal standardized data structures for systems integration for factory automation.
