Central Operation Unit
The Central Operation Unit […] is an innovative workstation for monitoring beverage production lines. It centralises all software systems and enables operating personnel to quickly detect and remedy issues in the production process. As a result, downtimes can be minimised and energy consumption and CO₂ emissions reduced. […] [We] placed great emphasis on sustainable design. It is made of recyclable lightweight materials that were originally developed for use on building facades, are free of harmful substances and meet the stringent hygiene standards of the food industry.
