OMAC Integration and Interoperability Symposium

OMAC welcomes you to attend its first Annual Technical Symposium. The theme of this symposium is "Bridging the Gap Between the Discrete & Process Industries," and will focus on improving integration by leveraging best practices and lessons learned.

Hosted by Boeing, the event will take place November 28-29, 2007, in Everett, Washington. The Future of Flight Aviation Center at Boeing and the Hilton Garden Inn in Everett will serve as the site for this monumental occasion.

Support for this event comes from members of the discrete industry, members of the process industry, OMAC and its working groups, the Automation Federation, WBF, ISA, WINA, and many others.

Who Should Attend?

This event is open to all members and non-members of OMAC and its supporting organizations. OMAC encourages anyone interested in learning how best practices and lessons learned from the discrete and process industries can be applied to improve efficiencies within their own organizations to attend.

Purpose:

The theme of the symposium will be centered on integration between the process and discrete industries, using standards like those for CAM and CNC control, inspection, CAD definition, data packaging, process planning, and automotive.

This two day event is intended to bring together and integrate the OMAC Working Groups (machine tools, packaging, MS MUG, etc.) into a single cohesive body that will work towards a common objective: enhancing the collaboration between process and discrete industries.

The goals of the event include developing a collaboration and integration roadmap, creating a forum enabling better collaboration between the process and discrete industries via the OMAC Working Groups, and serving as an effective networking opportunity for attendees. Another outcome of the symposium is the identification and organization of a planning committee for the 2008 OMAC Technical Conference.
