41Organizing Objectives
42OMAC Users Group - Objectives
- The OMAC Users Group was formed in 1994 as an
organization for companies to work together and - Collectively derive common solutions for both
technical and non-technical issues in the
development, implementation, and
commercialization of open, modular architecture
control (OMAC) technologies. - Promote OMAC development among control technology
providers and OMAC adoption among end users,
OEMs, and system integrators. - Act as a repository for OMAC requirements and
operating experience from users, software
developers, hardware builders and OEMs in
manufacturing applications. - Facilitate the accelerated development and
convergence of industry- and government-developed
technology guidelines to one set that satisfies
common use requirements. - Collaborate with users groups around the world in
pursuit of common international technology
guidelines.
43OMAC Users Group in 2007
- We currently operate three Working Groups
Packaging Machinery, Manufacturing
Infrastructure, and Machine Tool. These groups
lead the way in producing consensus guidelines to
improve flexibility, improve capability, and
reduce system integration costs. We also seek to
improve the automation industrys capabilities by
defining the educational and training needs of
our community.OMAC has about 500 member
representatives from end-user companies, OEM's,
and technology providers and integrator
companies. These members include companies with
vested interest in developing and implementing
open control technologies for manufacturing
applications.
442007 OMAC Forum
- OMAC welcomes you to attend its first Annual
Technical Symposium. The theme of this symposium
is "Bridging the Gap Between the Discrete
Process Industries," and will focus on improving
integration by leveraging best practices and
lessons learned.Purpose - The theme of the symposium will be centered on
integration between the process and discrete
industries, using standards like those for CAM
and CNC control, inspection, CAD definition, data
packaging, process planning, and automotive. - This two day event is intended to bring together
and integrate the OMAC Working Groups (machine
tools, packaging, MS MUG, etc.) into a single
cohesive body that will work towards a common
objective enhancing the collaboration between
process and discrete industries. - The goals of the event include developing a
collaboration and integration roadmap, creating a
forum, enabling better collaboration between the
process and discrete industries via the OMAC
Working Groups, and serving as an effective
networking opportunity for attendees. Another
outcome of the symposium is the identification
and organization of a planning committee for the
2008 OMAC Technical Conference.
45 Packaging Working Group
- The objective of the Packaging Working Group is
to maximize the business value of packaging
machinery by improving automation guidelines.
This will lead to improved flexibility, improved
capability, and reduced system integration
costs. - We seek to maximize end-user and OEM machine
automation choices, and increase flexibility,
facilitate a smaller footprint machine, achieve
faster throughput, and reduce costs through
greater industry openness and interoperability.
This will allow end users to connect-and-pack
different technology solutions to meet their
business needs. - To attain this goal, we work with automation
suppliers, OEMs, and trade groups worldwide to
encourage their supporting of the
connect-and-pack guidelines throughout their
products and practices, creating a mutually
beneficial environment for the guidelines. - We also seek to further expand and develop the
connect-and-pack guidelines to provide easier
integration horizontally (process to packaging)
and vertically (packaging to ERP
systems).Guidelines for Packaging Automation
Version 3.1 - This document is a compilation of
the guidelines for the OMAC Packaging Workgroup
and is periodically updated as the subgroups
develop and enhance these guidelines. This
version is updated with the PackAL guidelines
developed by the PackSoft sub-group.
46VMGO Packaging (cont)
- There are five Packaging sub-groups
- PackSoft - developing guidelines for machinery
programming languages to ease learning, support
transportability of software across platforms,
and allow continuing innovation - PackConnect - defining the control architecture
platforms and connectivity requirements for
packaging automation systems - PackAdvantage - Identify and communicate to the
packaging industry the Benefits/Results of using
connect pack guidelines for packaging
automation systems - PackML naming convention guidelines for
communications between production machinery
within the packaging industry. - PackLearn - promotes awareness of Group
initiatives by defining, and developing programs
to meet, the educational and training needs of
the industry - PackAL V1.3 Proposal - This document is the
updated PackAL document that has been updated by
the PackSoft subgroup. The major changes to this
document are to reflect the PackML Version 3
changes. This proposed update will be voted on at
the OPW Executive Committee at their meeting
scheduled for May 14th. Please provide any
comments on this document to Gerd Hoppe
(g.hoppe_at_beckhoff.com) who led the team that has
updated this document. - PackML Version 3.0 Approved - This is the latest
version of PackML that was approved at the OMAC
Packaging Workgroup Executive Committee Meeting
on October 31st at PackExpo. - PackTags V3.0 Approved - This is the latest
version of PackTags that was approved by the OPW
Executive Committee on January 8th.
47Manufacturing Infrastructure Working Group
- The mission of the Manufacturing Infrastructure
Working Group (MIWG) is to maximize the business
benefits of manufacturing systems by developing
common guidelines and solutions for architecture
and software usage issues when implementing and
integrating manufacturing systems and ensuring
architecture consistency. - We aim to become the leading advocacy group for
resolving manufacturing system implementation and
integration issues and defining common
manufacturing architecture and software usage
guidelines, resulting in business benefits to end
users, technology suppliers, and machine
builders. - Currently, there are two subgroups under this
working group - OMAC Architecture Group
- Microsoft Manufacturing Users Group
48Manufacturing Infrastructure Working Group
- OMAC Architecture Group
- Our mission is to define the concept of Open
Modular Architecture Controls (OMAC) and
associated high-level control system
architectures for discrete, hybrid, and
continuous manufacturing systems. The goal of the
OMAC architecture is to reduce the total life
cycle cost associated with manufacturing control
systems by leveraging systems built on open and
de facto standards and commercial off-the-shelf
hardware and software components. - To this end, we will promote the open systems
available in manufacturing control systems and
plant floor systems that support manufacturing
operations and identify areas where open system
standards are lacking in manufacturing control
systems and address them. - Microsoft Manufacturing User Group (MS MUG)
- The Microsoft Manufacturing User Group was formed
in 1999 to address issues that arise when
applying Microsoft technology in manufacturing.
Our mission is to define and resolve these
issues, such as version management, system
integration, maintenance, and supplier
responsibility. - To achieve this goal, we seek to develop a set of
best practices that will aid in the use of
Microsoft operating systems in manufacturing
environment provide input to Microsoft on the
special needs of this environment encourage and
influence software suppliers to support these
best practices and provide user input to the OPC
Foundation on changes and improvements to OPC. - There are three teams under this sub-group
- MUGSecure focused on increasing Windows
operating system reliability and security by
developing Best Practices for configuring Windows
in a control system environment. - MUGPatch concentrates on best practices for
upgrade validation with OS patches - MUGOPC concentrates on the expanding need to
update user issues into OPC standards
49Machine Tool Working Group
- The Machine Tool Working Group is charged with
maximizing the business value of discrete part
machinery by providing automation guidelines,
developing best practices, and assisting in
international standards development. - Our primary objective is to create an environment
that maximizes the machine automation choices of
end-users and OEMs, and increases their
flexibility through greater openness and
interoperability. To ensure that this goal
becomes a win-win situation, we work with CNC
controller vendors, CAD/CAM suppliers, and CNC
OEMs to encourage their support of OMAC-endorsed
open-architecture specifications and other best
practices through their products and practices. - There are two sub-groups under this working
group - STEP-NC working to understand and assess ISO
10303 in the context of OMAC - HMI-API - defining a common HMI API for all CNC
devices
