About This Independent Packaging Automation Resource
OnTheEdgeBlog.com is organized as a small educational archive-style site for people who care about packaging automation, machine standards, mechatronics, and technical workforce development.
What the historical domain was associated with
The historical domain was associated with commentary on packaging automation, OMAC and PackML, mechatronics, standards, machinery builders, and technical workforce development. Those themes still matter because modern packaging lines depend on clear machine behavior, maintainable controls, practical specifications, and skilled technicians.
What this site does now
The new site is an independent resource that organizes those themes for engineers, plant leaders, educators, and machinery buyers. It publishes educational summaries and practical explainers. It does not reproduce archived articles, offer services, certify programs, place workers, or claim to speak for any company or association.
What this site is not
This is not the official former blog, not a current site for any historical author, not an Automation World property, and not an OMAC, PMMI, ISA, Hershey, or packaging machinery company resource. No author biography, staff list, or service relationship is implied.
