AB  - PackML (Packaging Machine Language) is an automation standard widely adopted within the packaging industry to establish standardized control protocols for packaging machinery. Development of the PackML standard was facilitated by the Organization for Machine Automation and Control (OMAC), garnering substantial recognition across the packaging sector. The integration of PackML has yielded notable benefits, including heightened operational efficiency, cost reduction, and increased machine adaptability.
The paper explores the conceptual foundations of PackML and the practical aspects of its implementation. It highlights four dedicated laboratory exercises created to empower students with hands-on experience in utilizing PackML with modern automation systems. These exercises aid in acquainting students with standardized and contemporary programming processes, often absent from university laboratory environments. Students familiar with industry processes are better positioned to secure higher-paying employment opportunities, thus elevating their professional prospects.
These outcomes are a direct result of the ongoing collaboration between the author and OMAC, driven by a shared commitment to promote the adoption of PackML within academic settings.
