About PackML
PackML, which stands for Packaging Machine Language, defines a common approach, or machine language, for automated machines. The primary goals are to encourage a common “look and feel” across a plant floor and to enable and encourage industry innovation. PackML was adopted as part of the ISA88 industry standard(www.isa.org/isa88) in August 2008. PackML has been implemented by users and machine builders on a wide variety of control platforms. Those implementing PackML are realizing cost benefits of higher reliability, better supply chain integration, reduced engineering and training costs, and shorter project cycles.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][/vc_row]
