Tech/Engineering - Manufacturing / specifications of processed food production line
French term or phrase: dialogue entre les equipements
This is a heading in this document, which concerns a poultry processing production line that manufactures chicken nuggets, burgers, etc. Clearly it literally means "dialogue between equipment" but is there is better way of expressing this in English please, this really isn't my area of expertise. Many thanks!
