A filling and packaging process depends on a variety of factors, such as product uniformity, packaging of materials and filling machines/techniques.  All these factors influence the volume fluctuation, which needs to be kept to a minimum in order to be compliant with net-content legislation and avoid wasting valuable materials.

The causes for these fluctuations cannot always be avoided, but they can be kept under control with statistical quality control (SQC) solutions. SQC in a filling process allows you to streamline production and to recognize overfilling trends at an early stage.  Depending on your processes, you can choose from different SQC solutions to optimize your filling methods.

Regardless of which solution you choose, SQC can help you:

  • Reduce overfilling cost and product give-away by quickly recognizing filling trends based on statistical analysis
  • Intervene quickly and easily to guide the operator through the sampling process
  • Provide clear software support to comply with legal requirements for net-content control required by local and global laws, including record collection and storage
