"All of the controllers must be able to communicate with the HMI and MES systems using PackML and Pack Tags," says Bauman. "The OPC Foundation is helping us with the intercommunication testing since this communication will be via OPC. The demo will show the ease of integration of controller, HMI, and MES when leveraging PackML, PackTags, and OPC. The OMAC Packaging Workgroup (OPW) believes that in order to implement a world class packaging operation you need to integrate your packaging machines to get the desired productivity, reliability, flexibility, and tie-in to business systems."
