As food machine production line increases their speed of operation, safety becomes more and more important. At the same time, the lines require better connectivity between the elements in order to accommodate the need for boosted output and reduce the risk of damage.
Modern production lines are taking advantage of the Internet of Things in the technological realm to ensure product and operator safety while improving output.
2. Decreased Efficiency
With time, production lines inevitably face wear and tear of their constituent parts, which eventually reduces throughput. For complex machinery, when a part degrades, the result may not be obvious immediately.
As soon as output decreases, even if the equipment seems to be functioning properly, it’s vital to perform a detailed inspection.
3. Long Changeover Time
For some companies, manufacturing line changeovers take up too much time, reducing output. The time and cost required for a lengthy changeover are substantial and often lead to... less
