A QUANTUM LEAP IN QUALITY
WIPOTEC-OCS checkweighers not only prevent inconsistencies in product weights by automatically rejecting underweight items and protecting against product giveaway of overweight product, they are also used to send signals to the filling quantity regulator to change the
product flow.
This prevents further under or overfilling and ensures further productsareinlinewithweight requirements.
WIPOTEC-OCS state-of-the- art product inspection software ‘ComScale’ can be configured to meet the exact requirements of your production line, such as linking your checkweigher to
other inspection devices, metal detectors and X-Ray scanners, and so enable customers to create a comprehensive and dynamic automated quality assurance system.
WIPOTEC-OCS checkweighers can also monitor overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) and provide management reports on when efficiency falls.
These reasons are why quality assurance managers within organisations such as Arnotts, GWF, Nestlé, Simplot and Unilever describe the checkweighers as the technological centrepiece of their quality
