Reprint of OEE Tactical Brief sponsored by Yaskawa and published in Automation World, Packaging World, and Design World magazines. This is a collection of articles from the three publications combined with Yaskawa written articles to define Overall Equipment Effectiveness and examine methods to increase it through automation.
This white paper from Yaskawa America, Inc. provides three key design decisions to consider to implement PackML for machine control,. It sets aside the discussions of "Why PackML?" and instead focuses on "How PackML" so that controls engineers in any industry can better understand the design and implementation process.
White Paper written by Jamie Solt and published in Control Engineering, April 2104 issue. More and more end users are asking for robots, motion controllers, and PLC's to be programmed in familiar PLC languages. These languages are easier for machine builder programmers to understand, and for end users service personnel to maintain. To reduce the complexity and harmonize the look, feel, and function of these three separate platforms, the PLCopen working group for motion control has come up with a set of standardized tools to allow coordinated motion to be run directly from a PLC-like programming environment.
White Paper written by Derek Lee and published in Control Engineering, February, 2011 issue. This white paper shows machine and robot builders how to select the right motion control network for their application. Considerations include reliability, high speed, availability of design tools, guaranteed interoperability of a wide range of components, and ease of operation and maintenance.
Many Manufacturers Investing Heavily to Improve OEE, but Why and How? Article written by Scott Carlberg and published as part of an Automation World/Packaging World/Design World tactical brief in June 2014
As automation applications continue to grow, two distinct areas are starting to merge into common deployments: robotics and motion. Robotics has traditionally been a path-dependent event-based application. In contrast, motion control has more typically been a scan-based velocity or positioning application, with the exception of machine tools. This white paper analyzes the two architectures and presents some possibilities for combined solutions.

Technical Articles - White Paper, Application Case Study
Network reliability plays a key role in optimizing motion system perfomance. Hardware selection is only part of the process. Other choices include the selection of network protocol and topology. This article, written by Michael Miller and Jerry Tyson, provides some suggestions. Originally published in Industrial Ethernet Book, April, 2018
