Rather than the delivery of individual ma- chinery for mixing applications, the market requires a concept for entire system solutions which not only in- clude machines and modules, but also automation and auxiliary prod- ucts integrated into one system. The HF MIXING GROUP’s strategy is to provide complete and sustainable mixing solutions. The HF MIXING GROUP will show its new ADVISE ® 4.0 Mixing Room Automation solution at K 2019. AD- VISE ® 4.0 is a modular and scalable system for mixing room automation. It covers every process within a mix- ing room: from the raw materials storage, the computer-controlled, manual and fully automated weigh- ing of small components, the mixing process, downstream equipment and storage of mixtures. State-of-the-art automation systems are available for individual areas and machines. Sepa- rate applications can be selected ac- cording to requirements and merged together into a single automation system. Standard interfaces within mixing room automation systems en- able easy connection to ERP systems and laboratory equipment.
