Statistical quality control (SQC) is a legal requirement that doesn't have to be complicated. Discover how easy it is to be compliant, efficient and error-free.

Net-content control of pre-filled packages is a legal requirement in practically every industrialized country. It basically means that underfilling is illegal. In some industries, regulations require statistical monitoring of additional parameters, such as tablet testing in pharmaceutical production. In addition, many companies use statistical quality control (SQC) methods to monitor a range of other quality attributes.
The classic approach consists of manually taking samples, checking quality parameters and documenting the results. But this approach can be inefficient and prone to human error, especially when considering several SQC points within one production plant. SQC solutions can significantly improve process efficiency while ensuring compliance with local and international regulations.
Net-content control with IND890SQC
METTLER TOLEDO's IND890SQC weighing terminal is a stand-alone compact solution that has been developed for manual random sampling for net-content control. It ensures compliance with international and national net-content legislation, as well as global guidelines, such as BRC or OIML. The SQC application helps rule out illegal underfilling, reduces overfilling and allows easy data storage and documentation for audits. The system supports connection of peripheral interface devices, such as barcode scanners or tablet feeder.
Comprehensive quality control with FreeWeigh.Net®
An integrated quality control solution, such as FreeWeigh.Net, can efficiently monitor a variety of quality attributes in addition to net-content, such as tightness of a package, visual integrity, color, expiry dates or tablet testing results to ensure consistent product and package quality.
The data can be entered manually or transferred automatically from multiple devices that are connected to the in-house network. When deviations are discovered during the manufacturing process, corrections can be immediately implemented to optimize productivity and ensure legal compliance. FreeWeigh.Net complies with GMP and GAMP regulations on computer-system validation and meets the strict demands of regulated industries, such as pharmaceutical manufacturing.
