* Complex
in-gate and riser geometries can be created more easily with 3-D printing than tooling.
cieTrade has worked to help their recycling and export clients, throughout the supply chain, to meet this challenge and avoid costly
in-gate charges or rejections with new software features and integration methods to make compliance as easy and efficient as possible.
There are 34 major UK food and grocery companies who have committed to this target, representing engagement all along the supply chain to prevent waste between the factory

Menner calls this process "load management from the
in-gate to the out-gate." The concept describes a truly integrated suite of supply chain applications that can synchronize the activities on the road, in the yard, and inside the distribution center in the most cost-effective way.
"I would say simulation got us 80 to 85% of the way there, but we had to dial in a bit with a different
in-gate," Kahaian said.
Even a uniformly shaped casting can have a consistent location in relation to the
in-gate and risers.
A drag runner and cope
in-gate also were used in conjunction with as wide and thin a runner and
in-gate system as the board, flask and casting configuration, and wall thickness' allowed.
