From electronic workshop to food factory: small-scale conveyor line selection handbook

<p>In the electronics workshop, precision chips due to conveyor vibration led to a decline in yield of 5%; food factory sauce packaging line due to belt residue stains by customer complaints - these real pain points, the root cause of the conveyor line selection errors!<sup>[1,6](@ref)sup>
