OMAC Advances PackML, OEE and HMI Standards and Tools
The Organization for Machine Automation and Control (OMAC, omac.org) held member-led workgroups to update PackML(ISA-TR88.00.02), and to develop standards and tools for calculating Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and Human-Machine Interfaces (HMI). Collaboration with partners also increased, as OMAC partnered with the Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC) and nears release of documentation for the new PackML/OPC UA Companion Specification.
The group also added four new end-user members to its Operational Technology Advisory Forum and seven new full members this year: Colgate Palmolive, Dr. Pepper Snapple Group, DPT Labs and Mars Inc.
