Manufacturing simulation came to the fore in the 1990s. Early products offered two-dimensional animations, but as computer power grew, so did 3D simulation. Before long, it became one of the manufacturing industry's more practical and beneficial tools. But with its rise in prominence, simulation as a tool for manufacturers did come with its fair share of raised eyebrows and misconceptions.
Automatic bottling and conveyor systems in beverage and liquid food production set high requirements for energy efficiency, operational reliability, wash-down-capability and corrosion protection.
