OIPF Generic Industrial Process Library — Charter

Mission

Create a reusable ProcessGit library for AI-native production operations. The library defines a generic industrial process pattern that can be adapted to factories, process plants, utilities, and industrial facilities.

Scope

The first scope is the operational intelligence loop:

Observe → Contextualise → Infer → Check → Recommend → Approve → Act → Record → Learn

The library is neutral and not tied to any single vendor, plant, sector, or runtime.

Out of scope

• Direct PLC/DCS control logic.
• Hard real-time safety functions.
• Replacement of OPC UA, ISA-88, ISA-95, MES, SCADA, historians, or ERP.
• A universal ML model for every factory.

Design principle

The library should help turn industrial AI projects from bespoke consulting into reusable production-intelligence packages.
