The present invention provides a system for controlling the delivery of pumpable chemicals, comprising: one or more washing devices (51,52,53); one or more dispensing devices (54) for dispensing chemicals to the washing devices; and one or more control units connected to the dispensing devices (54) or to valves (91,92,93) for connection/disconnection of fluid lines between the dispensing devices and the washing device, said control units including an intelligence cell (64,64',64'',74) and a transceiver unit (65,65',65'',75) connected to said intelligence cell. The control system according to the present invention is very versatile, and can be used by almost every conceivable setup of a number of washing devices, starting from a separate dish washing device for a caterer, to an industrial laundry. The present invention make use of distributed intelligence, which form a plural network. In this context it is to be noted that a washing device may comprise dish washers, wash extractors, tunnel washers, bottle, crate and/or a keg washing devices or other. The devices can be single tank machines or multitank machines. <IMAGE>
