  abstract = {The advantages of object--oriented modeling, as
                  modularity and reusability of components, are very
                  important also for modeling manufacturing systems
                  and not only for software development.  In [1] a
                  unified object-oriented approach for modeling both
                  the logical and the physical part of a manufacturing
                  machine has been proposed. In this paper we report
                  an industrial application of this modeling strategy
                  and the case study consists of the package forming
                  unit of a filling machine for liquid food packaging,
                  developed by Tetra Pak Carton Ambient S.p.a.}
