Efficient systems for product inspection

Mettler-Toledo, a market leader in product inspection technology, will present at interpack a comprehensive range of solutions and upgrades e.g. for the food sector. Protection, productivity and quality are at the core of the company‘s product portfolio.

The company Mettler-Toledo will demonstrate at interpack in Düsseldorf four operational lines, how manufacturers can improve processes and increase competitiveness in their markets by employing Mettler-Toledo product inspection solutions. A wide range of solutions will be present – from X-ray and checkweighing to vision inspection and metal detection – alongside advance software packages such as ProdX, designed to make integration and data management as straightforward as possible for customers with demanding production schedules. All four areas of product inspection technology are represented.
In the area of metal detection, visitors will be able to try a new feature based on VNC technology which allows users to remotely access and control multiple metal detectors via networked mobile phones, tablets, laptops, and other production line equipment. New reduced test mode technology is also being showcased. Visitors can see live demonstrations of how this innovative new technology reduces the frequency of routine performance monitoring by up to 83 %, helping users to increase productivity and significantly reduce costs associated with routine testing. Interpack attendees can also see the latest Profile Advantage Pipeline system in action – the recirculating demo system shows how this metal detection system overcomes the issues of bubbles and product voids to virtually eliminate false rejects in pipeline applications.
A premiere in the area of checkweighing: Mettler-Toledo is adding two product lines to its checkweighing portfolio, both offering a performance increase of up to 30 %. The systems are developed to further meet the requirements of customers and to offer a full spectrum of options to manufacturers of all sizes and will therefore be available in various combinations.
A number of vision inspection systems will be incorporated into the four lines presented at the Mettler-Toledo booth. They cover a wide range of market sectors that deal with packaged products – from the entry-level product V2622 FlexLite to the high-end system V2630 for fully-automated inspection of labels, print, and packaging properties, as well as V2410 Mosaic for 360-degree inspection of round, unoriented products. In Düsseldorf, new systems will be on display which cover top and bottom inspection, 360-degree inspection and which feature brand new camera devices – including smart camera options. Aggregation and serialization solutions will also be avail­able to view which enable manufacturers to meet the requirements of their customers and to remain compliant with current and forthcoming regulations.
Developments surrounding Industry 4.0 and the Internet of Things have started to facilitate a major paradigm shift in various manufacturing industries. One such product is the ProdX inspection data management software solution. It provides seamless integration of process data provided by X-ray inspection, metal detection and checkweighing systems, and, as of now, vision inspection systems – which will be available to interact with. The solution streamlines processes making them more accessible and more efficient and allowing manufacturers to control the entire product inspection management process from a single point or from multiple remote locations. This eliminates the need for time-consuming production line patrols, allowing operators to focus on more productive tasks.
