With the growing need for specialized machines to achieve the goals of flexible and make to order manufacturing it is important for engineers to have the programming flexibility provided by vendors that conform to PLCopen programming standards.

PLCopen will once again join industry associations as a Tier One Member of the PACK EXPO International Partner Program at PACK EXPO International and the co-located Healthcare Packaging EXPO (Oct. 14–17, 2018, McCormick Place, Chicago).
As a strategic partner, PLCopen positions itself with other leading associations as a leading force within the supply chain that supports the collaboration and exchange of ideas that drive the future of packaging innovation.
The program allows PLCopen to share its mission related to control programming by showcasing our capabilities, supporting our members attending the show and opening the door to new connections and potential members with targeted access.
“The Association Partner Pavilions at PACK EXPO International, and co-located Healthcare Packaging EXPO, bring together leading industry associations with decision makers from the world’s top CPG companies, retailers and pharmaceutical, medical device and nutraceutical manufacturers,” says Jim Pittas, president and CEO, PMMI. “The expertise and industry knowledge provided by partner associations on-site offer an invaluable resource to attendees.”
As participants in the program, trade associations serve as an on-site resource for the 50,000 attendees expected at the co-located event. Many of these partner associations bring a specific vertical market focus and will host pavilions, sponsor networking lounges and produce educational sessions.

4. Remembering Dr. Ken Ryan
A few weeks ago the very sad news reached us that
Dr. Ken Ryan died in a private airplane accident in the USA.
Ken Ryan was a very dedicated and greatly respected member of the PLCopen Board of Management for many years before he withdrew from this function in 2012. He contributed much to PLCopen and to me in person. We will miss his very positive lifestyle, humor and knowledge.
