FRICKE-Multiplex: Connected manufacturing system

The FRICKE-Multiplex is an intelligent manufacturing system that connects dosing and filling systems to create an integrated production process. It enables automated workflows ranging from precise dosing and mixing to controlled filling and cleaning. Each individual process step is documented automatically. Raw material supply, process control, software integration, and production analysis can also be incorporated into the overall system.

The FRICKE-Multiplex is particularly suitable for the fragrance and flavor industry with its demanding batch processes. It takes the automation of production environments to a new level while ensuring the necessary flexibility. Companies with multiple locations, changing formulas, or increasing automation requirements also benefit from an integrated system approach.

A connected dosing and filling system increases efficiency, improves product quality, and reduces manual process steps. Production orders are fully scalable, from customer samples to the largest batches - from 100 grams to 10 metric tons. Precise dosing, controlled mixing, filling and cleaning, combined with complete documentation, create stable, reproducible, and transparent production processes. Planning, raw material availability, batch traceability, and production metrics can also be managed more effectively.

A FRICKE-Multiplex system is a suitable solution when all production processes need to be planned and automated holistically. It is particularly suitable for companies that want to increase production output, reduce throughput times, and digitalize their processes for the long term. The Multiplex also provides clear added value in complex production environments involving numerous raw materials, formulas, or supplementary manual processes.

Yes. The FRICKE-Multiplex is individually tailored to production requirements, formulas, raw materials, batch sizes, and the existing infrastructure. From process analysis and engineering to software development and commissioning, FRICKE provides complete solutions from a single source. Existing systems, historical production data, and existing IT and ERP structures can also be incorporated into the planning process.

Software is a central component of the FRICKE-Multiplex. It supports the control, monitoring, and documentation of production processes and can accommodate industry-specific requirements such as formula management, batch traceability, MES integration, and business intelligence analyses. The software therefore provides the central link between production planning, system control, quality assurance, and reporting.

In addition to dosing accuracy, the FRICKE-Multiplex ensures complete documentation of all process steps, including mixing, cleaning, and filling. This helps maintain consistent product quality. Every production step is monitored, ensuring reproducible results. Digital process documentation also supports audits, quality records, and batch traceability.

Yes. Thanks to its modular design, the FRICKE-Multiplex can be configured for different production requirements. It supports both smaller and larger batch sizes and enables flexible adaptation to changing products, formulas, and customer requirements. This allows production to remain adaptable when market requirements change, urgent orders arise, or new formulas are introduced.
