Catch Error Trends Faster

When manually entering sampling results in a system, a trend analysis of the filling results may come too late. Statistical quality control solutions deliver prompt feedback on the actual filling process and can immediately  inform operators to react and adapt the process.

On a global basis, two major guidelines regarding packaging goods are dominant: the WELMEC (Europe) and the NIST (USA) guidelines. 

An automatic checkweigher is operates with dynamic checkweighing principles and the primary value is 100% sampling. It classifies the items by preset weight zones and ejects or sorts them automatically. It is typically used for high speed checkweighing.

A manual SQC solution is a cost efficient solution to control your filling process within a defined tolerance range. It reduces overfilling costs, ensures compliance to regulations  and automatically provides statistics for further process optimization. 

The choice of checkweighing systems or a static scales on a production line is usually dictated by application requirements, economic factors and the need for process data. Our white paper "Catch Error Trends Faster" provides an overview on the full range of SQC solutions, starting from basic manual solutions to fully automated checkweighers.
