Manufacturing WorkGroup

What Drives Your Manufacturing Performance? Actionable Intelligence. Real-Time Adjustment. Predictable Outcomes.

The OMAC Manufacturing Workgroup (OMW) is charged with maximizing the business value of discrete part machinery by providing automation guidelines, developing best practices, and assisting in international standards development.

Members of OMAC’s Manufacturing Workgroup are driving efforts to bridge the gap between digital technology and manufacturing. Our members include manufacturing leaders, automation firms, CNC and OEM machine builders, control technology providers, CAD/CAM suppliers, and end users around the world. 

‍We conduct test trials and demos of digital twin manufacturing and leading edge manufacturing technology. We share knowledge and create guidelines and best practices. We develop tools and resources that help your company move into the future of digital manufacturing.
‍
Our primary objective is to create an environment that maximizes the machine automation choices of end-users and OEMs and increases their flexibility through greater openness and interoperability. To ensure that this goal becomes a “win-win” situation, we work with CNC controller vendors, CAD/CAM suppliers, and CNC OEMs to encourage their support of OMW “Connect and Manufacture” standards and best practices.
