Let's get synched on standards

摘要

"Standards are like tooth brushes. Everybody has one, but nobody wants to use the other guy's."rnGregg Stedronsky, vice president of engineering at General Mills, let fly with this little zinger in his presentation at the 2007 Packaging Automation Forum. He also had a word of advice for both buyers and builders of packaging machinery: It's in everyone's best interest to adopt the OMAC Packaging Work Group's PackML concepts, which were "guidelines" at the time of Stedronsky's presentation but recently became ISA standards, namely ISA TR088.05.
