"I wanted to call this 'Make2Pack for Dummies' but I decided not to imply that you all were."
- why this presentation?
- modular transparent, user driven-not programmer driven- software
- integration, shop floor to executive floor and process to process has been the order of the day for several years
- can be done with todays's technology and standards
- however, in the fill/pack area lack of standardization results in one-offs
- refine S88 models across all types of manufacturing
- encourage a layered hierarchical struture that provides modularity and common methods
- develop a method or approach for the developent of a library of automation components
- develop physical demo examples
- refine the definition of modes
- stay within the framework of S88
- align with OMAC PackML standard
- make the standard acceptable to both process/batch professionals and packaging professionals
- initially a lot of misunderstanidngs betwen process and packaging people
- after a while the understanding is there among the group
- key for the standard is to convey this understanding
- some terms will be new, adaption of the standard will reuire openness to changing terms
- probably a little heavy on the S88 batch language, but there will be an attempt to conform
