The analysis reports activities of large automation customers such as Nestlé as well as industry consortiums like the OMAC towards specification of a universally applicable safety interface standard. They have recognized that the lack of a common, machine-to-machine safety protocol reduces the value of having an integrated line. A unified, hardware-independent and legally open safety protocol such as openSAFETY on the other hand reduces line integration efforts while increasing overall line safety as well as overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). Founded in 1986, the ARC Advisory Group ranges among the leading technology research and advisory firms for industry and infrastructure worldwide. ARC's coverage of technology and trends extends from business systems to product and asset lifecycle management, supply chain management, operations management, energy optimization and automation systems.
