OMAC's PackML Workshop 2019 takes place Thursday, May 16, 7:00 am to 5:00 pm, at the Chicago Marriott O'Hare. The PackML Workshop is co-located and follows the Automation World Conference & Expo, May 14-15 in the same venue.

PackML experts from B&R Automation, Bosch Rexroth, Rockwell and Siemens will lead the training sessions.
