efficient connection of a new sandblasting plant to the existing system and an increase in the total production volume
analysis of different layout variants and strategies to ensure an ideal run-out to the weekend and start-up to the start of production after the weekend
examination of different strategies for using the loading and unloading station:
- which products should be loaded or and unloaded at which station?
- Does inserting buffer locations in front of a station improve is charging performance?
- Will the quantity increase make an additional charging station necessary?
