The OMAC PackML Subgroup led the development of this technical report with support from the ISA88 Committee. This was a major step in moving PackML and PackTags from an OMAC guideline to part of the ANSI/ISA88 set of standards, and illustrates how OMAC and ISA are working together to provide solutions for manufacturing organizations.
Dennis Brandl, Chairman of the ISA88 Committee and President of BR&L Consulting, said, "This is a major step forward in bringing together the best design, implementation, and integration methods from OMAC and ISA. I believe that the technical report will become an important part of the widely respected ISA88 standard—significantly reducing system integration time and costs for dedicated process and packaging equipment. It will enable the packaging flexibility and agility that is now required for 21st century manufacturing."
