PackML is an open standard developed by OMAC that allows packaging machines and their operators to communicate with unprecedented clarity. It defines a consistent way for discrete machinery to control themselves and exchange information. This standardization allows any two compliant machines from any manufacturer to understand each other. It provides benefits to end users by simplifying integration of machines from different vendors, and benefits OEMs by streamlining development, improving support, and protecting intellectual property. Adoption of PackML is growing as major end users require it and integration tools become available.

The Master Guide To Corrugated PackagingPakFactory
Corrugated packaging is an exceptionally useful tool in the e-commerce industry. Flip through this deck to learn everything you need to know about corrugated packaging.
The packaging sector has witnessed a considerable evolution over the past decade. Due to growing demand for sustainable packaging solutions to innovative and user-friendly packaging alternatives, the packaging sector is undergoing significant developments. Within the packaging industry, competition is expected to be intense between flexible packaging solutions and rigid packaging solutions. Flexible and rigid packaging are both deployed across an array of industrial domains, including food & beverages, consumer goods, healthcare & pharmaceuticals, and chemicals. Rigid packaging solutions include glass containers, plastic boxes, cans, and cardboards, which are increasingly being used to package food, cosmetics, and personal care products.
You can find more than 20 pallet types on Repalletize.com. Pallets are made from 4 basic materials such as wood, plastic, metal, and corrugated or cardboard. We have created the top 20 types of pallets you will need to think about for your companies shipping and logistic needs.
In the carton packaging world, we mainly discuss the carton packaging issues in the packaging industry, there are multiple carton box template samples cited in the carton box design, we hope it is useful to you.
Corrugated cardboard is generally used to make packing or shipping containers. Though there are various other types of cardboard boxes available, corrugated cardboard boxes are the most suitable for maintaining the safety of the object it is carrying, especially for long distance shipping purposes.
Packaging materials: Paper based packaging for foodDr. Jilen Mayani
Paper is a very versatile material. It is produced from cellulosic, naturally renewable fibres. It is therefore considered as an environmentally friendly material, being easily recycled, composted or incinerated after use. It may be used in food packaging applications within a wide range of grammages, being designed as wrapping paper, folding box board or corrugated board, for direct or indirect contact, i.e. as primary, secondary or tertiary packaging. Other paper grades, such as tissue paper, may be used in occasional contact with foodstuffs.
When paper and paper based products are intended, or likely, to come into contact with food, manufacturers follow relevant and acknowledged regulations and guidelines to design manufacturing processes and recipes, and ensure consumer safety.
Plastic films are used to wrap food related items like, candy, snacks, nutritional bars & powders. This presentation explains the different types of packaging films and the equipment used to wrap the films.

Atmel - Designing Feature-Rich User Interfaces for Home and Industrial Contro...Atmel Corporation
We have all become familiar with intuitive user interfaces on our smartphones, tablets, and personal media players. Yet these concepts are still being introduced in the world of many home controls or industrial automation applications. The use of MIMIC diagrams and traditional switches and rotary controls are still commonplace on much industrial equipment. Most home thermostats are still mechanical. There are some very good reasons for this. Gloved hands, moisture, and condensation can play havoc with touchscreen controls. The industrial operating environment may dictate large switches for these reasons. Safety considerations may warrant the use of traditional control mechanisms such as switches.
Nevertheless, equipment manufacturers are keen to update both the functionality and cosmetic aesthetics of their products. Industrial automation equipment is increasingly networked. For home automation applications there is a need to provide an integrated display and control function for heating and ventilation, media-center and smart-energy monitoring. You need a higher performance microprocessor, but with a more intuitive, easy-to-understand user interface (UI).

WSO2Con USA 2015: Data to Consumer: End-to-End Middleware CapabilitiesWSO2
Consumer-driven and rapidly changing business requirements are creating the need to go beyond traditional middleware in enterprises today. Because the middleware layer has enough functional capabilities it empowers architects to convert their blueprints to solutions without changing the architecture to fit into the middleware limitations.
Asanka will first look at the evolution of middleware and how current and next-generation middleware looks like (Platform-3.0). Following this, he will analyze the middleware requirements from data (system of record) to consumer (system of engagement) by illustrating a layered architecture of modern enterprise middleware.

Industry 4.0 - Enabling operational excellence of packaging linesStephane Potier
Industry 4.0 is a revolution in operational excellence for smart factories. Packaging industry experts weigh in on current trends and share their visions for the future.
In the second half of the 20th century, factories began incorporating automation technology and sophisticated electronics into their production processes, jumpstarting a period now often referred to as the 3rd Industrial Revolution. PLCs were instrumental in this change in production and a key player in the adoption of Industry 3.0. Now, companies are implementing internet-connected sensors, advanced data systems, and other technologies that fall under the umbrella of “Internet of Things”, a process that’s considered to be the 4th Industrial Revolution. Will PLCs continue to be a ubiquitous part of production processes as more companies introduce cyber-physical systems? Or is the death of the PLC imminent?

INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION AND SECURITY SYSTEM BASED ON
Do you speak PackML
1. Do you
speak
PackML?The common machine language defined by the PackML
standard allows packaging machines, their operators and
higher-level information systems to communicate with
unprecedented clarity. Machine builders, system integrators
and end users alike are already experiencing the benefits.
Developed by OMAC and following in the footsteps of the S88
standard on which it is based, PackML is experiencing near
exponential growth in acceptance. Recently, OMAC Chairman
Bryan Griffen explained to automotion why PackML has been
so successful and who stands to benefit. He also shared his
vision of a not-so-distant future where there is only one
answer to the question “Do you speak PackML?”

3. service multiple customers. They also need
technicians who understand both plat-
forms. This is not only expensive and diffi-
cult, it bogs down their capacity to innovate,
because they’re spending their time keep-
ing the technology platforms and techni-
cians at the same level instead of enhanc-
ing performance.
There’s also an improvement in terms of af-
ter-sales support. No longer do they send
out a technician who ends up sitting there
scratching his head because he knows
there was something different about this
machine but can’t remember exactly what.
With standards in place, service calls be-
come much less of a headache. Yet it seems
to me that the biggest benefit is in the re-
tention of intellectual property. When the
end user buys a line that integrates equip-
ment from multiple OEMs, the system inte-
grator has to go down into the PLC code of
each machine to make them line up and
communicate. The OEM is forced to give
away intellectual property to a system inte-
grator, which of course nobody likes to do.
With PackML it can be a black box. The per-
missives are encapsulated in specifical-
ly-coded pieces of information, the Pack-
Tags. The system integrator knows what
the state model is, so he doesn’t need to
know the inner workings; it’s practically
plug-and-play. It’s a huge improvement for
a machine builder to keep that intellectual
property locked up.
So for the OEM, PackML brings improve
ments in development, support and pro
tection of their intellectual property. What
about the system integrators?
One of the things that a system integrator
struggles with is bidding on a project in-
volving a large number of machines. You
just never know how long it will take to get
it working. So if we can take that out of the
equation with a standard, the bidding pro-
cess becomes much easier and they can
focus on higher-level functions.
Also, instead of everything being one-off,
they can start making standard packages.
They can make a middleware package for
reporting line efficiency to a plant manager,
for example, and they know they can use it
in any factory because it is built on an ac-
cepted standard.
If we’re talking about line integration,
safety communication is going to come
into play. Are there any PackML develop
ments that deal with the issue of safety?
There are several active subcommittees
within the OMAC packaging workgroup. One
of them is focused revising the standard
itself to make it more usable. Another is
PackSafety, who is working on providing the
same functionality as PackML at a safety
level to communicate information between
machines about safety events.
What is OMAC’s strategy for deploying these
standards on the market?
Right now, we’re in the final phases of a revi-
sion to the PackML standard aimed at im-
proving clarity and usability. We’re working
with various technology providers to make
sure libraries are available for all the different
types of PLCs. At PACK EXPO 2013 we had a
PackML meeting with 8 different technology
providers showcasing PackML tools already
implemented in their programming software.
Beyond that, we have the push from OMAC
members such as Nestlé, Procter & Gamble
and PepsiCo, who are establishing PackML
as one of their fixed requirements. That’s
certainly going to drive the industry, and
with technology providers also making it
easier to implement, the adoption will
move even more quickly.
Some of the larger OEMs like ProMach and
Bosch Packaging are also adopting PackML
as their standard.
How does a company become an OMAC
member, and what are the benefits?
One of the primary benefits is having input
on what’s happening with the standard. It’s
a very active community. Getting involved
now puts a company on the forefront of
that wave, allows them to help define the
future, gives them a first look at what is
going to be required to comply and helps
them get a step ahead of the competition.
Membership is pretty straightforward, rang-
ing from $1,000 to $3,000 per year depend-
ing on the size of the company. For us, the
most important thing is the participation.
It’s the ideas that come out of the member
companies. This collaboration makes the
standard stronger and more applicable
across the board.
All of the details for joining can be found at
OMAC.org.
Sounds like you have an exciting future
ahead of you. We wish you all the best –
thanks for your time!
