operation at a much higher sensitivity rate. In some cases, RT helped manufacturers reduce testing from two-hourly to every six, requiring only two tests per 12-hour shift, again reducing overall TDC.
FURTHER WAYS TO REDUCE TDC
The latest check weighing and vision inspection devices using technical innovations such as feedback loops and enhanced automated vision technology can also help reduce TDC. By providing a precise level of weighing accuracy at high production speeds, and removing the need for manual visual checks of product labelling, these can help reduce labour costs and improve overall quality and consistency.
