When working with your design-reviews, it is important to focus just as much on the control architecture as the mechanical solution. You should request from the supplier that all the machines’ states should be defined in the same way. That means that you can conduct better data for analysis of production improvements, gain an easier maintenance process as well as integrate new future machines in an easy consistent way.

If you work with standardization, you increase the chance to to produce more products on your food machine production line. An excellent monitoring over the line performance, helping you to find next production efficiency improvement. In the start-up phase, it is important to be just as skilled at writing requirement specifications as writing mechanical specifications. Over all, it is important to have a strict control over the architecture of the programming to make sure that the communication between the machines work.
