style="font-size: 10pt;">Production
machines and entire production lines have become a focal point and
often a
bottleneck in an effort to improve overall plant performance and supply
chain
efficiency. Forward thinking machine builders and CPG manufacturers are
deploying better ways to reduce costs, speed time to market, and
improve
performance. Through the adoption of standards for communication
interfaces and
data structures manufacturers are able to improve production
performance.
Furthermore, improved machine design, development, and deployment
practices are
bringing machinery to market that is easier to maintain and identify
production
bottlenecks. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
