The biggest advantages of batch processing are the cost savings, work versatility and even using less floor space than conveyor processing. It’s the ideal solution for companies whose coating process outpaces the manufacturing process. This is the “saving space” option.
Some of the disadvantages associated with batch processing can be the wait time. It can also be more difficult to recognize and react to issues in the batch processing flow. If an issue is identified, it has affected many parts in the batch proceeding through the process. This leads to more waste when issues are identified. Many of the parts in the batch may have to be discarded or reworked.
