MDIS
| Version | 1.3 |
|---|---|
| Published | 2024-11 |
| Sector | Subsea oil and gas |
The MDIS model, at 1.3 as of November 2024, covering subsea instrumentation and control interfaces for oil and gas. A narrow, mature, well-adopted model within its industry, which distinguishes it from most Tier-2 entries here.
Where it sits in the stack
Built on the core information model. MDIS is a registered capability code.

Using it on a real machine
- Check the capability codeA server claiming MDIS is exposing subsea control interface structure.
- Expect a distinct engineering cultureSubsea control has its own safety, redundancy and change-control practice. OPC UA integration here is subject to it.
- Note the maturityUnlike many sector models, MDIS has real industry adoption and an active revision history.
What it gives you for OEE
OEE as manufacturing understands it does not apply to subsea production. Availability of equipment matters enormously, but the calculation and the economics are entirely different. Do not port a manufacturing OEE model here.
Gotchas
- Manufacturing OEE concepts do not transfer to subsea production. Different economics, different availability definitions.
- Safety and redundancy requirements dominate the engineering, and they constrain integration.
- Genuinely mature and adopted within its industry, unlike many sector models.
Once the machine speaks a companion spec, the OEE mapping is portable across vendors, which is the point at which analytics stops being a per-machine project.
