Typical challenges:
- limited tank and silo capacities
- complex product and material constraints
- high cleaning and changeover effort
- inefficient use of intermediate storage
- bottlenecks between production and packaging
- high manual coordination effort
This becomes particularly critical in the case of:
- continuous production
- batch and campaign manufacturing
- multiple intermediate storage units
- complex material flows
- high hygiene and contamination requirements
