The making of the Smart Mill of the future

摘要

Each individual system component, whether it is involved in the arrival of raw materials or in the cleaning, grinding, storage and or bagging of the finished product, is a highly sophisticated piece of machinery that works with utmost precision and accuracy - the only scope left for improvement is in the finer details. To optimise further, we need to look at the potential of linking the individual system components together and in the possibilities offered by autonomy . Biihler is working flat out developing the building blocks for what it calls the 'Smart Mill.' Grain Milling Technologist, Urs Diibendorfer, who has been with Biihler AG for the past 28 years and is a member of the Smart Mill Development Team, explains how much progress the company has already made in its pursuit of this innovative concept. Milling and Grain, with assistance from Biihler, had the opportunity to discuss with Urs Diibendorfer the progress being made and reports here the questions posed to him stating with asking him to describe a Smart Mill.
