EQUIPMENT MANAGEMENT
uses the Container Management function to administer and monitor the status of containers,
receptacles and pallets. The system keeps status lists, cleaning rules and histories for the
individual container types.
During the weighing operation a plausibility check is carried out to ensure the suitability of source and
target containers. The container management component checks that the containers which are being used meet
the set requirements. Usually, barcodes or transponders are used to ensure reliable container identification.
A comprehensive set of master data is allocated to each container, and includes data on tare administration,
complex rules for cleaning or sterilizing, product compatibility and possible product sequences.
EQUIPMENT MANAGEMENT
checks containers prior to their use, e.g. for cleaning status and usability.
