Simplified model for data collection of liquid products in process manufacturing
In the realm of process manufacturing, tracking product flow and data alignment remains important. Current technologies primarily cater to discrete and batch processing, leaving a gap in continuous process tracking. This paper introduces a simplified model designed to calculate the transit time slots as products traverse specific system passages, considering systems characterized by pipeline branching and mixing tanks. The model presented herein is based on certain idealized conditions and has not yet been empirically validated. Nevertheless, it provides a method for the calculation and allocation of comprehensive data histories of arbitrarily defined product units within continuous process manufacturing systems. It holds potential for future extension and refinement.
