ISA-TR63082-1 (TR108.1)-2020, Intelligent Device Management – Part 1: Concepts and Terminology, provides a comprehensive framework for managing intelligent devices within industrial automation systems by defining essential concepts, terminology and structured processes. This technical report outlines how intelligent device management (IDM) integrates with asset and facility lifecycles, from design, installation and commissioning through operation, maintenance and decommissioning, emphasizing coordination between business goals, technical work processes and resource allocation.This report highlights the use of diagnostics, configuration management and formalized procedures to monitor device health, optimize maintenance strategies, reduce downtime and handle evolving technologies and data complexity. By establishing a common language and organizational structure, it supports improved communication across teams and helps organizations adapt to technological changes, manage risks and enhance operational efficiency, safety and cost-effectiveness when working with complex intelligent devices.
