Modern technology to benefit customers - Union-Zucker introduces intelligent product formulation management

Nordstemmen-based Union-Zucker Sudhannover is starting up a new screening, packaging and shipping centre in the 2001 campaign. The new screening and s hipping plant was integrated with new and existing information technology s ystems. Sugar shipments will take place under data-processing-based product formulation management supplying the quality parameters in accordance with customer requirements or contract specifications. The newly installed prod uct formulation management can be operated in three ways: fully automatic, semi-automatic, or manually. Automatic product formulation management meets the demanding customer requirements and allows optimal exploitation of adv antages.
