What is PackML?

PackML (Packaging Machine Language) is an industry standard for packaging machine automation. It defines a common 'state machine' approach to machine control, promoting modularity, consistency, and interoperability. This allows for easier integration of packaging equipment from different vendors, faster commissioning, and improved diagnostics. It is commonly used to standardize machine modes (like starting, stopping, and idling) and data reporting, facilitating efficient operation and maintenance of packaging lines.
