摘要

Quality is always a watchword for food processors and maintaining quality over a typical 24x7 production schedule brings about me need for precision process control and up-to-the-minute manufacturing information, requiring the use of a high performance control system. One such system has been developed i in a joint effort between Mitsubishi Electric and process engineers, BCH Group, for a UK-based food manufacturing group, to ensure that its current needs are met, and that future developments can also be anticipated. Most importantly, the ability to adhere to the Codes of Practise for cleanliness and ingredient quality set down by the major supermarket chains and statutory bodes, were specified as minimum requirements for the system.
