I have written several times over the past decade about how the Industrial Internet of Things and such hardware advancements as the Edge have blown up the Purdue Pyramid Model of industrial Architecture. Especially as an information model. Rather than a static hierarchy, information can flow from source to consumer bypassing layers as required. However, the Purdue Model (and ISA95) certainly do describe different types of functions of a manufacturing enterprise.
