This holds particularly true for product inspection, where the impact of data ripples through various operational and commercial facets. One company that exemplifies this connection between data and efficiency is Heinrichsthaler, a German cheese manufacturer.
Picture this: Heinrichsthaler churns out a staggering 200 tons of dairy products daily across 12 production lines. At critical checkpoints, five combination checkweigher/metal detection systems diligently inspect the output, scrutinising a whopping 7,000 products per hour.
The real magic, however, happens in the meticulous optimisation of these product inspection facilities, leading to a remarkable reduction in product giveaway from 3% to an impressive 0.9%.
What lies at the core of this success? The answer lies in the goldmine of production line data collected by the combination product inspection system's data management software. This real-time treasure trove not only identifies errors and inefficiencies but also corrects them on the fly. According to Mr. Gründinger, the Production Director at Heinrichsthaler, "Real-time proactive data preparation helps us to avoid costly overfilling. Our investment in the inspection management equipment has already paid for itself within three months."
The data management software doesn't just stop at real-time corrections; it provides a holistic view of the inspection equipment's status, adding a layer of transparency to the production process. This transparency enables timely implementation of production flow control measures, enhancing the production line's overall availability. Trend analysis becomes a valuable tool in detecting anomalies, such as weight discrepancies, while metal detection systems undergoing rigorous testing every 90 minutes, supporting compliance with defined specifications.
