The filling system is the largest and most labor-intensive unit of a beverage production system, as it requires special machinery, conveyor lines and storage areas. A smooth and continuous filling process as a whole depends on the structure of the system as well as the communication of the machines with each other.Within a filling system we distinguish three circuits for pallets, cases and bottles as well as a dry area (packing/unpacking, pallet-charging) and a wet area (cleaning, filling, closing).

Data exchange between intelligent devices  via TCP/IP within the filling system enables the horizontal integration along the manufacturing line.
