Back for another educational and interactive exchange is our popular Make2Pack and Connect-and-Pack™ Workshop, held one day before Packaging Automation Forum. The workshop provides time for a more focused education and discussion and will be facilitated by industry and technology expert Dave Chappell. Class size will be limited to encourage personalized attention and optimum time for Q & A.

This year's Workshop offers practical information for both packaging end-users and OEMs, and includes demonstrations of the technology being discussed, presented on a large screen for easy viewing. New this year will be discussion of the PackML Implementation Guide, developed by Procter & Gamble, and a look at example code from various control providers.

Workshop attendees will learn the ease of implementing packaging line functions (control, HMI, MES) when utilizing the OPW Connect-and-Pack™ concepts contained in the technical report approved by the ISA88 Commitee and the Make2Pack concepts described by the ISA88 Part 5 standard. This session offers both the end-user and the OEM perspective and will include commentary from both an end-user and a technology provider about operations currently benefiting from implementation of Connect-and-Pack™ concepts and evolving modular automation concepts contained in the ISA standards.

Topics of discussion will include:

  • Benefits users achieve from Connect-and-Pack™
  • Benefits OEMs achieve from Connect-and-Pack™
  • What's in the ISA88 Technical Report (PackML and PackTags)
  • What's in the ISA88 Part 5 Standard (Make2Pack)
  • An example implementation of Make2Pack on a control platform
  • An example implementation of PackML and PackTags on a control platform
  • An example implementation of PackML and PackTags on a supervisory platform (HMI, MES)
