Abstract

Components that cause downtimes of complex bottling and packaging plants need to be identified to increase the overall efficiency which today is between 40 and 70 percent. This is a difficult task due to interdependencies among the different material flows within the line. Therfore, models were developed to describe temporal interrelations within the plants. Based on these models, diagnosis solutions for food industry were implementedand evaluated in practical scale.
