TAMS Contributions to MTConnect

TAMS contributes standards leadership, open-source developer tooling, and practical education to the MTConnect community.

Standards leadership

Within the MTConnect Institute, TAMS CTO Trais McAllister serves on the MTConnect Standards Committee and chairs the Validation Working Group. Under the Institute's governing rules, a working-group chair also serves as a member of the Executive Committee.

This service brings implementation and validation experience into the community process responsible for developing and maintaining the MTConnect Standard.

Open-source development

TAMS worked with AMT – The Association For Manufacturing Technology and the MTConnect Institute to develop open-source developer tooling centered on the MTConnect Transpiler.

The Transpiler reads the MTConnect Standard's SysML/XMI information model so developers can produce code, schemas, documentation, validation assets, and other maintained artifacts without manually recreating the model whenever the Standard evolves.

The public project is maintained in the MTConnect GitHub organization under the Apache License 2.0.
