Checkweighers can be a critical machine dans food processing et fabrication plants including transformation de la viande facilities. They sont often placed at le end de a production ou food processing line et sont designed à make sure that le weight de le package contents sont within desired specifications. Packages that contain less than le required amount can cause either regulatory issues ou client issues (some clients will charge large fees pour rejected / underweight packages that they receive). Packages that contain over le specified amount de produit represent costly overproduction gaspillage, ou ‘wastage’.
Checkweighers come dans a wide range de capacities, from small manually operated units à larger industrial scale automated systems that can check weigh hundreds de items per minute. Dans a transformation de la viande facility, checkweighers might be used pour VFFS (Vertical Form Fill et Seal) applications pour produits like jerky, pour VS (Vacuum Sealed) packages pour raw meats pour retail stores ou pour checking cans such as pour processed meats.
Each de these use cases will have different parameters that will affect le overall productivity de le ligne de production ou facility. Dans addition à checking weights, checkweighers may also have metal detectors et X-ray équipement installed. This est particularly important dans transformation de la viande as there sont opportunities pour blade pieces à make it through le meat rendering process. Combining multiple measurement ou alert features into one machine location can make amélioration continue ou line balancing et optimization difficult as it can be hard à track which alarm ou out de tolerance signal est being driven by which fabrication line input.
Checkweighers can do so much more than simply accepting et rejecting packages however. Simply connecting a trieuse pondérale (et it’s ancillary signals such as X-Ray alerts) à a production tableau de bord can help production management et ouvriers à respond à et eliminate le causes de temps d'arrêt. If données can then be gathered et evaluated over time, le trieuse pondérale output can ascertain if certain steps de le produit process ou équipement dans le line est contributing à over ou under-weight packages ou other production issues.
Rather than simply driving rejects, le trieuse pondérale can be a source de renseignements pour le transformation de la viande facility à tune their operation à reduce le risk de too many underweight packages ou le cost de too many overweight packages.
That’s where trieuse pondérale machine connectivity et Usine intelligente Analytics come into play. Connecting checkweighers à le Worximity logiciel lets you access temps réel analytics et à easily create reports that give you renseignements into quoi le données est telling you over time.
And now Worximity now connects à many brands de trieuse pondérale using API connectivity! Dans addition à saving le cost de installing le Worximity Tileboard device et from having à connect them à each machine à be able à access realtime données, you get a far richer données set.
This means that you can get temps réel usine analytics sont lower cost, avec a faster ROI. Meat processing facilities can now have an even faster access à temps réel usine analytics from checkweighers made by Mettler Toledo, Ishida, Yamato.
