ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through
ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee
has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations,
governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely
with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.

Introduction
0.1 General
Although commercial products exist for the product lifecycle management (PLM)-manufacturing execution
[20]
system (MES) interface, there is no official standard for the PLM-MES interface. Separate international
standards exist for PLM and MES, respectively. However, there is no international standard for interfaces for
exchanging 3D product information and manufacturing information between PLM and MES.
Data models from existing PLM and MES standards can be used as starting points to establish the PLM-MES
interface standard. Given the diverse and complex nature of the entire PLM-MES interface, this document
focuses on 3D visualization elements that provide feedback on 3D error data found in the production
department of heavy industry to the design department.
When the PLM-MES interface is visualized, details of the entire interface are hidden, and an intuitively
displayed overall view is presented. The schemas of the existing PLM and MES standards can be used to
standardize the text format feedback sent from the production department to the design department.
However, since the main obstacle is 3D shape data, it is difficult to use the existing schema. The 3D
visualization elements for feedback constitute the first step in developing the PLM-MES interface standard.
Figure 1 shows the contents defined by ISO/TR 3151-1, which outlines the visualization elements of the PLM-
MES interface, and this document (ISO 3151-2), which pertains to this part of the PLM-MES interface. The
left side of Figure 1 shows the scope of ISO/TR 3151-1, primarily an overview, while the right side shows the
scope of this document, specifying 3D visualization elements for error feedback in heavy industry.

Industry-specific product groups can be classified based on their economic lifespan. For example, there are
clear differences in the economic lifespan of a nuclear power plant, an aircraft, a ship, an automobile, a TV, a
smartphone, and mechanical or electronic parts.
An engineering plant, such as a power plant, consist of one million parts and has a service life of several
decades. Being made-to-order (or custom-made), the demand for a 3D interface between PLM and MES in
these specific use cases is generally high. See Annex C for use cases that illustrate the challenges of the 3D
interface between PLM and MES.
On the other hand, less complex products such as motors, electronic components or control components
used for communication or control have relatively shorter lifecycles. These products must be mass-
produced to ensure economy validity and have a short economic life due to rapid technological advancement.
Consequently, the demand for 3D interfaces between PLM and MES is not high. Manufactured products with
a small set of parts are relatively less complex.
