ISO/TS 14649-201:2011规定了作为制造和机器特性的工艺数据所需的特定于技术的机床描述数据元素。该模式中涵盖的机床描述最初是铣床、加工中心、车床和多任务机床。 ISO/TS 14649-201:2011并不打算取代现有的机床描述标准，而是涵盖针对ISO 14649中描述的技术中的制造需求的制造资源描述的特定需求。 该模型的制造应用示例有: 数控加工零件编程； 工艺规划； 加工过程的模拟； 预期加工时间和机床能耗分析； 用于制造评估和/或控制器开发的新机床的描述。ISO/TS 14649-201:2011中规定的模式不包括所有技术通用的表示、可执行对象和基类。这些参考自ISO 10303和ISO 14649-10的通用资源。

ISO/TS 14649-201:2011 specifies the technology-specific machine tool description data elements needed as process data for manufacturing and machine characteristics. The machine tool descriptions covered in this schema are, initially, milling machines, machining centres, turning machines and multi-tasking machines. ISO/TS 14649-201:2011 is not intended to replace existing machine tool description standards, but to cover the specific needs of manufacturing resource description for manufacturing needs in the technologies described in ISO 14649. Examples of manufacturing applications of this model are:

• part programming for CNC machining;
• process planning;
• a simulation of machining processes;
• analysis of expected machining time and machine tool energy use;
• a description of new machine tools for manufacturing evaluation and/or controller development.

The schema specified in ISO/TS 14649-201:2011 does not include representations, executable objects and base classes that are common for all technologies. These are referenced from the generic resources of ISO 10303 and from ISO 14649-10.
