Chocolate giant Nestle is apparently discouraged at the industry's lack of progress in standardizing machine controls for packaging systems. It just announced plans to develop a manufacturer-independent system that helps integrate control of multiple packaging machines from various manufacturers. Once it is developed, Nestle will provide machine builders access to the PackML language-based specification. Does the industry need this push, and will the effort ease and accelerate adoption of more unified control platforms in packaging plants?
