National Bulk Equipment, Inc.’s new automated bulk material handling and packaging system is built on the NBE integrated construction and controls infrastructure. The complete process sequence operates on paired, process-specific structural framework chassis with all automation and control functions centralized to a single, menu-driven HMI to enable standardized and system-wide data reporting. The NBE integrated construction and controls infrastructure provides the basis for reduced total cost of ownership, relative to the common systems integration concept of bolt-together, divergent “islands” of equipment, while also improving process performance and the accuracy of production data shared throughout the enterprise.
