Abstract

An installation comprises two rows of closely adjacent material processing stations and a data-processing system to monitor and/or control the material-processing stations. The installation also has a travelling unit or tender to service the material-processing stations. The tender has a send-receive unit and each material-processing station has a corresponding send-receive unit so that information can pass between the data-processing system and the tender by way of the material-processing stations.
