PackML

PackML is an automation standard developed by the OMAC and adopted by ISA as TR88.00.02 that makes it easier to transfer and retrieve consistent machine data. The primary goals of PackML are to encourage a common “look and feel” across a plant floor, and to enable and encourage industry innovation.

OMAC’s PackML group is recognized globally and consists of control vendors, OEM’s, system integrators, universities, and end users, which collaborate on definitions to be consistent with the ISA88 standards and the technology and changing needs of a majority of automated machinery.
