OMAC (Open Modular Architecture Controls) Packaging Workgroup, which is trying to simplify the development, installation, and operation of packaging equipment, reported significant progress at its April meeting at interpack 2002 in Germany.

Markem announced two new coders that incorporate the OMAC PackML state model. The model is designed to make packaging machines more “plug-and-play” when it comes to integration and operation (see Q&A, p. 32).
